Plantation Time & Care Guide:

• Planting Season:
  Best planted in early Spring (February-March) or post-monsoon to allow the plant to establish itself before the hot summer months.

• Sunlight Requirements:
  Thrives in full sunlight, requiring at least 4-5 hours of direct sunlight daily.

• Temperature Tolerance:
  Ideal temperature range is 10-38°C, making it suitable for most Indian climates. Protect from extreme cold and harsh sun.

• Soil Type:
  Prefers well-drained, loamy soil rich in organic matter. Mixing garden soil with compost or cow dung manure helps improve growth.

• Watering Needs:
  Water the plant 2-3 times a week, ensuring the soil remains moist but not waterlogged. During summer, check the soil regularly and water as needed.

• Fertilization:
  Use an organic fertilizer or rose-specific manure once a month during the growing season (Spring and Monsoon) for healthier blooms.

• Pruning & Maintenance:
  Prune in late winter (January) or early Spring to remove dead branches and shape the plant for new growth and better flowering.

• Propagation:
  Can be propagated through stem cuttings. Simply plant a healthy cutting in a small pot and place it in partial shade until roots develop.

• Pests and Problems:
  Watch out for aphids, black spots, and fungal diseases. Regularly inspect the plant and treat with neem oil or natural remedies to keep it healthy.

Care Tip:

Mulch around the plant base with organic materials like dry leaves or coco peat to retain moisture during the hot months, keeping the roots cool and preventing the soil from drying out too quickly.
