Rosa aka Rose

Taxonomy

Rosa, or De Rosa, can refer to a beautiful flowering plant with rich pink buds that gradually open to reveal deeply cupped flowers. These flowers bloom intermittently from early summer to the onset of frost and emit a delightful fragrance of Good Old Rose with a hint of raspberry. Additionally, there is a super rare houseplant variety of Rosa called 'Eufemia' that requires regular watering to thrive. For best results, this plant should be kept in long-lasting, direct light and placed less than 1 foot from a window. When repotting, make sure to use well-draining soil and refrain from adding fertilizers if you repot the plant each time it doubles in size.

Common names

Rose, Climbing Rose, Hybrid Tea Rose, Parade Rose, Miniature Rose

How to care for Rose

Difficulty

Caring for Rose is a breeze, as it is highly adaptable and forgiving to minor neglect.

Water

Rose should be watered regularly, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings.

Soil

Rose loves a well-draining soil. Perlite and vermiculite help with drainage, while coco coir adds organic matter, so a good potting soil mix will have all three. You can improve store-bought soil by adding some perlite to it.

Lighting

To ensure optimal growth, the Rose prefers bright indirect light for 6-8 hours each day. Insufficient light can result in slow growth and leaf drop, so it's important to find a well-lit location for this plant. Place it near a window, within a distance of 1 meter (3 feet), to enhance its potential for thriving.

Toxicity

There is no verified data on the toxicity of this plant in the records of Ploi. If any person, including yourself, a family member, or a pet, consume plant material with an uncertain toxicity level, it is advisable to seek the advice of a healthcare expert.

Humidity

No extra humidity is necessary for the Rose. Absorption of water by plants is primarily done through their roots, and soil watering is the most effective method to provide humidity to your plants.

Fertilizer

Repotting the Rose should be done either when it has doubled in size or on a yearly basis, whichever occurs sooner. Fresh potting soil with all the required nutrients, refreshed annually, will provide the plant with all the necessary sustenance, making the use of fertilizer unnecessary. Keep in mind that plants receive their energy from the sun, not fertilizer.

Region of origin

Rose’s native range is Asia, Europe, North America, and northwestern Africa.
