Toxicity
- To humans
  The rose is generally not considered toxic to humans. However, it is important to note that almost all roses have thorns that can cause physical injury if handled improperly. Ingesting large quantities of rose parts such as leaves or petals is inadvisable due to the potential for gastrointestinal upset such as nausea or diarrhea due to the plant material, but they are not known to contain any potent toxins that would cause severe poisoning. Always exercise caution and avoid eating plants not specifically grown for consumption, as they may have been treated with pesticides or other chemicals.
- To pets
  The rose plant is not considered to be toxic to pets. It does not typically pose a risk of poisoning if pets, such as dogs or cats, ingest its petals or leaves. However, like with humans, the thorns can cause physical injury, and the potential for mild gastrointestinal upset exists if a pet chews on or ingests large amounts of rose foliage. It is also important to be aware of potential pesticides or other chemicals that may have been used on the plant which could be harmful if ingested. If you notice your pet exhibiting signs of distress after consuming any part of a rose plant, it is best to consult with a veterinarian.

Pruning

Water
Miniature roses like the 'Cider Cup' should be watered deeply whenever the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch. As a general guideline, water your miniature rose with approximately 1 gallon of water once a week during the growing season. However, this can vary depending on climate conditions such as temperature and humidity, as well as the plant's growing environment. Always reduce watering frequency during the winter months when the plant is not actively growing. It’s critical to avoid over-watering to prevent root rot, so ensure the pot has good drainage.
Light
Miniature roses like the 'Cider Cup' require full sun to thrive, meaning they need at least 6 to 8 hours of direct sunlight daily. The best spot for these roses is outdoors in a bright, sunny garden area. If grown indoors, place them near a south-facing window where they receive plenty of sunlight.
Temperature
The 'Cider Cup' miniature rose prefers moderate temperatures and thrives best when daytime temperatures are between 65°F and 75°F. These roses can survive minimum winter temperatures down to about 20°F but require protection from severe cold. Ideal growing conditions involve consistently warm days and cooler nights to encourage robust growth and flowering.
Pruning
Prune your 'Cider Cup' miniature rose to maintain its shape, remove dead or diseased wood, and encourage healthy growth and flowering. The best time to prune is in late winter or early spring before new growth begins. Remove any dead or spindly stems and cut back about one-third of the previous year's growth to promote vigorous new stems. Pruning should be done annually.
Cleaning
As needed
Soil
The best soil mix for Rosa 'Dicladida', commonly known as patio rose, would be a well-draining loam with a moderate amount of organic matter. Roses thrive in soils with good fertility and proper aeration. For 'Dicladida', aim for a soil pH between 6.0 and 7.0. Mix in compost and aged manure to enrich the soil and provide essential nutrients.
Repotting
Patio roses like Rosa 'Dicladida' should be repotted every two to three years or when they outgrow their current container. The best time to repot is late winter or early spring, before new growth begins. Ensure you choose a slightly larger pot with good drainage to encourage healthy root development.
Humidity & Misting
Patio roses, such as Rosa 'Dicladida', generally do well in average outdoor humidity levels. They do not require high humidity and can tolerate the humidity levels typically found in most temperate climates. It is important to maintain good air circulation around the plant to prevent fungal diseases.
Suitable locations
- Indoor
  Provide bright light, well-draining soil, and regular watering.
- Outdoor
  Plant in full sun, enrich soil with organic compost, ensure good drainage.
- Hardiness zone
  5-9 USDA
Life cycle
The life of the Rosa 'Dicladida', commonly known as Cider Cup Rose, begins with seed germination, which takes place under suitable conditions of temperature and moisture, although many garden roses are propagated through cuttings or grafting. Upon sprouting, the seedling establishes its root system and develops its first true leaves in the juvenile phase. As it matures into the vegetative phase, the plant develops stems and foliage, increasing in size and complexity; this miniature rose exhibits compact growth suitable for patios. The plant then enters the flowering stage, where buds form and bloom into the characteristic small, cup-shaped roses, often in bursts of color throughout the growing season, peaking in late spring to early summer. After pollination, the flowers may produce hips (seed pods), which then mature and can disperse seeds, completing the reproductive cycle. In addition to sexual reproduction, the plant can be deadheaded to encourage further blooms and maintain vigor, and it may require periods of dormancy or reduced growth in colder months, depending on the climate.
Propogation
- Propogation time
  Spring to Summer
- The Rosa Cider Cup, commonly known as a miniature or patio rose, is often propagated by softwood cuttings. This method is usually performed during late spring or early summer when the plant's new growth is beginning to mature but is not yet fully hardened. The process involves cutting a 4 to 6 inch (about 10 to 15 cm) length of stem that includes several leaves and possibly a flower bud. The lower leaves are removed, and the cut end is often dipped in rooting hormone to encourage root development. The cutting is then placed in a well-draining soil mix, ensuring at least one node where leaves were removed is below the soil surface. The container is kept moist and in a warm place with indirect sunlight until roots develop, which can take several weeks. This low-tech approach is favored for its simplicity and effectiveness in replicating the parent plant's characteristics.
