- Water
The Floribunda Rose 'Champagne Moment' should be watered deeply but infrequently, aiming to keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. During the active growing season in spring and summer, water these roses once a week with about 1 to 2 gallons per plant, depending on the climate and soil drainage. In hot, dry periods, increase watering to twice a week, ensuring that water reaches the deep roots. In the fall, reduce watering to help the plant harden off for winter. Always water at the base of the plant to avoid wetting the foliage, which can lead to fungal diseases.
- Light
The Floribunda Rose 'Champagne Moment' thrives best in full sun, where it receives at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily. Plant it in a spot that is exposed to morning sun, as this helps to dry dew off the leaves and reduce the risk of disease. Avoid overly shaded areas to ensure the rose grows healthy and produces abundant blooms.
- Temperature
The Floribunda Rose 'Champagne Moment' prefers a temperate climate with temperatures ranging from 60 to 75 degrees Fahrenheit. It can generally tolerate a minimum temperature down to 20 degrees Fahrenheit during its dormant winter phase. To ensure robust growth and flowering, protect the rose from extreme heat and freezing temperatures, providing mulch or other forms of insulation if necessary.
- Pruning
The Floribunda Rose 'Champagne Moment' should be pruned in late winter or early spring to remove dead or diseased wood, shape the plant, and encourage healthy new growth. Prune about one-third of the older canes to just above a strong outward-facing bud and clear out any thin, weak growth. Deadheading spent blooms throughout the growing season promotes continued flowering.
- Cleaning
As needed
- Soil
The best soil mix for the Floribunda Rose is loamy, well-draining soil enriched with organic matter, such as compost or aged manure. It thrives in soil with a pH between 6.0 and 7.0. Mulching can help retain moisture and regulate soil temperature.
- Repotting
Floribunda Roses do not typically require repotting as they are outdoor plants. Instead, they should be planted in the ground where they can spread their roots.
- Humidity & Misting
Floribunda Roses prefer outdoor environments where the natural humidity is available. Humidity levels should mimic typical outdoor conditions for best health.
- Suitable locations
Indoor
Provide bright light, regular watering. Not ideal for long-term indoor growth.

- Life cycle
The Champagne Moment rose, known botanically as Rosa 'Korvanaber', begins its life cycle as a dormant bare-root plant or potted young rose in early spring. Once planted, it enters a vegetative stage, producing leaves and new stems as it establishes its root system. Throughout the spring and early summer, the plant enters a phase of rapid growth, producing lush foliage and eventually buds. The blooming stage occurs from late spring through to fall, where it showcases its creamy, blush-tinted flowers in repeat flushes. As temperatures cool in late autumn, the rose's growth slows, and it begins to prepare for dormancy, shedding its leaves and retreating energy to its roots. Throughout winter, the plant remains dormant until the warmer weather of spring reinvigorates it, thus repeating the cycle.
- Propogation
Propogation time
Late winter to early spring
The Rosa Champagne Moment, also known as 'Korvanaber,' is a patented variety of rose often propagated by semi-hardwood cuttings. The most popular method of propagation for this rose type occurs during the late summer months when the plant's growth begins to harden slightly. Cuttings, typically around 6 to 8 inches long, are taken from the healthiest canes, ensuring at least a few sets of leaves remain on the upper end. The lower leaves should be stripped, and the cut end of the cutting can be treated with rooting hormone to encourage root development. The prepared cutting is then placed in a well-draining soil mixture, ensuring that several of the remaining leaf nodes are below the soil surface to facilitate root growth. The cutting should be kept moist and in a warm environment with indirect light until roots establish, after which it can be transplanted into a more permanent location.
