WaterHybrid Tea Roses like the Chandos Beauty require consistent moisture to flourish, especially during their active growing season in spring and summer. It's important to water them deeply at least once a week, providing approximately 1 to 1.5 gallons per plant. During hot, dry periods, you may need to water twice a week, ensuring the soil is moist but not waterlogged several inches below the surface. A good practice is to water in the morning, which allows the foliage to dry out during the day, reducing the risk of fungal diseases. During the winter months, reduce watering, but do not let the soil completely dry out.
LightChandos Beauty rose prefers a location that receives at least six hours of direct sunlight per day. The best spot is one where morning sunlight quickly dries the dew from the leaves, helping prevent fungal diseases. These roses perform best and produce the most blooms in full sun, though they can tolerate light shade, particularly in hotter climates where some afternoon shade can be beneficial.
TemperatureChandos Beauty rose thrives in temperate conditions and can generally handle temperature ranges from 32°F to 90°F. The ideal temperature for optimal growth and flowering lies between 65°F to 75°F. These roses may require winter protection when temperatures dip below freezing, and it's crucial to avoid extreme temperature fluctuations to maintain their health and blooming capability.
PruningPruning the Chandos Beauty rose is necessary to promote vigorous growth, healthy blooms, and good air circulation. The best time to prune is early spring, just as the buds start to swell. Remove any dead or damaged wood, thin out crowded areas, and cut back canes to 12 to 18 inches to encourage new growth. Pruning should be done annually, and throughout the blooming season, deadhead spent flowers to encourage additional blooms.
CleaningAs needed
SoilHybrid Tea Roses prefer well-draining soil with a mix of organic matter, such as compost or aged manure, to encourage healthy growth. A pH range of 6.0 to 6.5 is ideal for this rose variety. Adding a layer of mulch helps to retain moisture and keeps the roots cool.
RepottingHybrid Tea Roses are typically grown in the ground rather than pots and do not require repotting. However, if grown in a container, repotting every 2 to 3 years or when the plant outgrows its current pot is recommended.
Humidity & MistingHybrid Tea Roses do well in moderate humidity levels; they tolerate a range from 40% to 70%. It is important to ensure good air circulation around the plants to prevent fungal diseases.

Life cycleThe Rosa 'Chandos Beauty' begins its life cycle when the seed germinates, typically in spring or early summer after a period of stratification, which simulates winter conditions. Once the seedling emerges, it goes through a period of vegetative growth, developing leaves, stems, and a root system. As the plant matures, it enters the flowering stage, usually in late spring to summer, producing fragrant, pinkish-cream blossoms that attract pollinators. After pollination, the flowers develop into fruits known as hips, which contain seeds for the next generation. Throughout its life, the plant enters a period of dormancy in the winter, conserving energy and protecting itself from the cold. The plant can live for several years, undergoing cycles of growth, flowering, fruiting, and dormancy.
PropogationPropogation time
Early spring
The Rosa 'Chandos Beauty'—more commonly known as Hybrid Tea Rose—can be propagated mainly through the method of softwood cuttings. This method is usually carried out in late spring or early summer when the stems are still young and flexible. To propagate using softwood cuttings, one would cut a stem about 4 to 6 inches (10 to 15 centimeters) long, ensuring that there are a few leaves on the top and it is taken just below a leaf node. The lower leaves are removed and the cut end is dipped in rooting hormone to increase the chances of successful rooting. The cutting is then placed in a well-draining potting mix and kept moist until roots develop, which usually takes a few weeks to a couple of months. It is important to keep the environment humid and to avoid direct sunlight during this period to prevent the cutting from drying out.
