During extremely hot or dry weather, you may need to water twice a week. Always check the soil before watering; it should be moist but not waterlogged. Avoid overhead watering to prevent leaf diseases and instead direct the water to the base of the plant. In winter or rainy periods, reduce watering frequency to prevent root rot.
- Light
Camelot Roses thrive in full sun, requiring at least 6 to 8 hours of direct sunlight daily for optimal growth and blooming. The best spot for planting them is an area that gets unfiltered morning sunlight and some afternoon shade in extremely hot climates. Avoid locations where buildings, trees, or shrubs block the sunlight for a significant part of the day.
- Temperature
The Camelot Rose prospers in a temperature range where the nighttime lows don't fall below 20 degrees Fahrenheit and the daytime highs usually remain below 90 degrees Fahrenheit. They can survive short periods of colder weather down to about 10 degrees Fahrenheit, but prolonged exposure to extreme cold can damage the plant. The ideal temperature range for growing healthy Roses is roughly between 60 and 70 degrees Fahrenheit during the day.
- Pruning
Camelot Roses should be pruned to maintain their shape and encourage vigorous growth. Prune in late winter or early spring, removing any dead, diseased, or damaged wood as well as any thin, weak canes. Also, cut back about one-third of the previous year's growth to promote fresh blooms. The best time to prune is after the last frost but before the new growth starts in earnest.
- Cleaning
As needed
- Soil

- Life cycle
The Rosa Camelot, commonly known as Camelot Rose, begins its life cycle as a dormant bare root plant or a young potted specimen. The plant then enters a vegetative growth phase, where it develops a strong root system, healthy leaves, and sturdy stems. Following vegetative growth, the Camelot Rose enters the flowering stage, producing buds that bloom into its characteristic large, pink flowers in late spring to early summer. After pollination, if applicable, these roses will set hips (seed pods), which mature by late summer and can be used for propagation. The Camelot Rose will continue to grow and may repeat bloom through the summer and into fall in ideal conditions. As temperatures cool and day length shortens, the plant will begin to enter dormancy, shedding leaves and conserving energy for the next growing season.
- Propogation
Propogation time
Spring-Early Summer
The Rosa Camelot, commonly known as 'Tan05372' (PBR) (ClF), is typically propagated through cuttings. This involves taking a piece of the rose's stem during the cooler parts of the year, ideally in late fall or early winter. The cutting, which should be about 6 to 8 inches long (15 to 20 cm), is taken from a healthy, disease-free plant. It is then trimmed just below a leaf node, and the lower leaves are removed to expose the nodes where roots will develop. The cut end is often dipped in rooting hormone to encourage root growth and then placed in a moist soil mix. The cutting should be kept in indirect light and at a stable temperature until new growth indicates that roots have developed, a process that can take several weeks to a few months depending on the conditions.
