- Water
The Bowled Over rose should be watered deeply and less frequently to encourage strong root growth. Aim to water early in the morning to reduce evaporation and allow foliage to dry out, which helps prevent diseases. During the growing season, provide about 1 to 1.5 gallons of water per plant each week, depending on the weather conditions. During prolonged dry spells or extreme heat, increase watering to twice per week. Ensure the soil is well-draining to avoid waterlogging, which roses do not tolerate well.
- Light
Bowled Over roses thrive best in full sun, with at least 6 to 8 hours of direct sunlight each day. Choose a spot in the garden that is not overshadowed by trees or buildings to ensure the roses receive ample light throughout the day. Adequate sunlight is crucial for blooming and overall health.
- Temperature
Bowled Over roses prefer temperatures between 65°F and 75°F for optimal growth. They can survive a minimum winter temperature down to around 20°F with proper winter protection. These roses perform best when the temperature doesn’t exceed 90°F but can tolerate occasional higher temperatures with sufficient water and care.
- Pruning
Prune Bowled Over roses in late winter or early spring, just as the buds start to swell, to shape the plant and remove dead or damaged wood. Pruning is essential for promoting good air circulation, which reduces the risk of fungal diseases, and to encourage a more prolific bloom. Annual pruning also helps maintain the size of the plant and rejuvenates it for the upcoming growing season.
- Cleaning
As needed
- Soil
Roses require well-draining soil with rich organic matter; for Rosa 'Tandolgnil', a mix of one-third peat moss, one-third garden soil, and one-third compost with additional perlite or sand can be ideal. The best soil pH for this rose is between 6.0 and 7.0.
- Repotting
Rose plants like Rosa 'Tandolgnil' are typically not repotted frequently; they are usually planted directly into the garden. If grown in containers, repotting every 2 to 3 years in early spring is sufficient to replenish nutrients and space for roots.
- Humidity & Misting
Roses such as Rosa 'Tandolgnil' prefer moderate humidity levels; they do not require particularly high humidity. Maintaining typical outdoor humidity is generally sufficient for their growth, avoiding overly dry or highly humid conditions.
- Suitable locations
Indoor
Place in bright, indirect light; water when top soil is dry.
Outdoor
Plant in a sunny spot with well-draining soil; water regularly.

- Life cycle
The 'Bowled Over' rose, Rosa 'Tandolgnil', begins its life cycle with seed germination, although commercially it is more commonly propagated by cuttings or grafting to ensure the offspring retain its characteristics. The juvenile stage is marked by rapid vegetative growth where the plant develops its root system, stems, and leaves. As it matures into the adult stage, it starts to produce buds that will bloom into the characteristic full, often fragrant flowers for which roses are known, typically in spring or early summer. After pollination, which can be facilitated by insects or wind, these flowers develop into fruits known as hips that contain seeds, completing the reproductive cycle. The plant enters a period of dormancy during colder months, conserving energy and resources. Throughout its life, the 'Bowled Over' rose will go through recurring cycles of growth, flowering, and dormancy, continuing for many years with proper care and maintenance.
- Propogation
Propogation time
Spring-Early Summer
The Rosa Bowled Over, commonly known as the rose, is typically propagated through stem cuttings, which is the most popular method for this variety. This process involves taking a cutting from a healthy, disease-free parent plant during its active growing season, which is generally in early summer. The cutting, about 6 to 8 inches (15 to 20 centimeters) in length, should have several sets of leaves. The bottom leaves are removed, and the cut end may be dipped in rooting hormone powder to enhance root development. Then the cutting is placed in a well-draining soil mixture, kept moist but not waterlogged, and covered with a plastic bag or dome to maintain humidity. In a few weeks, roots should develop, after which the new rose plant can be transplanted to its permanent location.
