WaterThe Sunrise rose should be watered deeply once a week, ensuring that the soil is thoroughly moistened to a depth of about 18 inches. During hot, dry spells, you might need to water twice a week. Allow the top inch of the soil to dry out between waterings to encourage strong root growth. Each watering should provide approximately 1 to 1.5 gallons of water to the root zone, avoiding wetting the foliage as much as possible to deter fungal diseases.
LightSunrise roses require full sun where they can get at least 6 hours of direct sunlight per day. The ideal spot for planting is one that receives morning sunlight and some afternoon shade, especially in areas with extremely hot summers, as this helps to protect the blooms from fading.
TemperatureSunrise roses thrive in temperatures between 65°F and 75°F, which is their ideal growing range. They can survive temperature dips down to about 20°F, but should be protected from extreme cold and frost. Hot temperatures above 90°F can stress the plant, so providing some afternoon shade during peak heat can be beneficial.
PruningPruning the Sunrise rose is necessary to maintain its shape, remove dead or diseased wood, and encourage healthy growth and flowering. The best time for pruning is late winter or early spring, just as new buds begin to swell. Prune to maintain an open center for airflow, and remove any crossing or inward-growing branches. Annual pruning should be quite thorough, cutting back about one-third of the previous year's growth.

Life cycleThe Rosa 'Harwinner', commonly known as the Deben Sunrise rose, begins its life cycle as a dormant bare-root plant or as a potted specimen. Upon planting, it enters a growth phase, during which leaves, stems, and roots develop rapidly with adequate water, nutrients, and sunlight. The plant then advances to the flowering stage, typically in late spring to early summer, producing fragrant blooms that attract pollinators. After pollination, roses may produce hips, which contain seeds that have the potential to grow into new plants if conditions are right. Throughout the growing season, the rose will continue to produce new foliage and may rebloom if spent flowers are deadheaded. As winter approaches, the plant becomes dormant, shedding its leaves and conserving energy to survive the cold, with the cycle beginning anew in the following spring.
PropogationPropogation time
Spring to Summer
Propogation: The Rosa 'Harwinter', commonly known as Deben Sunrise rose, is typically propagated by the method of softwood cuttings, which tends to be the most popular and effective approach. For this rose, the optimal time to take cuttings is in late spring to early summer when new growth is observed but the stems are not fully mature. To propagate by this method, a healthy, non-flowering shoot is selected and a cutting approximately 6 inches (around 15 centimeters) long is taken. The lower leaves are removed and the cut end may be dipped in rooting hormone to encourage root development. The cutting is then planted in a well-draining rooting medium, such as half peat and half perlite mix, and kept under high humidity and indirect light until roots have formed, which usually takes several weeks. Once rooted, the new plants are gradually hardened off before being transplanted to their final location.
