WaterThe Hybrid Tea Rose, commonly known as Rosa L'Aimant, should be watered deeply once a week during active growing seasons, ensuring that the water reaches the roots to encourage deep root development. In hotter climates or during particularly dry spells, you may need to water twice a week. Apply approximately 1-2 gallons of water per plant during each watering session, depending on soil type and weather conditions. During the winter months, reduce watering to only when the soil is dry to the touch. Avoid overhead watering to minimize the risk of leaf diseases.
LightHybrid Tea Roses like Rosa L'Aimant thrive best in full sun, receiving a minimum of six to eight hours of direct sunlight daily. Ideally, the plant should be placed in a location where it can enjoy morning sunlight, which dries the dew on the leaves and helps prevent disease.
TemperatureHybrid Tea Roses, such as Rosa L'Aimant, prefer temperatures ranging between 65 to 70 degrees Fahrenheit during the day and 55 to 60 degrees overnight. They can survive temperatures as low as 10 degrees Fahrenheit but require winter protection in colder zones. Optimal growing conditions involve warm days and cooler nights to encourage blooming.
PruningHybrid Tea Roses such as Rosa L'Aimant require pruning to promote vigorous growth and abundant flowering. Prune in late winter or early spring when new growth begins, removing dead or weak canes and shaping the plant. Pruning should be done annually to maintain the plant's health and improve air circulation. The best time for major pruning is when the forsythia blooms in your area.
CleaningAs needed
SoilThe best soil mix for the Hybrid Tea Rose should be well-drained with a mixture of loam, compost, and sharp sand to improve drainage. Its pH should range between 6.0 and 7.0 for optimal growth.
RepottingHybrid Tea Roses planted in containers may require repotting every 2 to 3 years, usually during their dormant period in late winter or early spring.
Humidity & MistingHybrid Tea Roses prefer moderate humidity levels, but their primary concern is adequate air circulation to prevent fungal diseases.

Life cycleThe Rosa 'L'Aimant', commonly known as a floribunda rose, begins its journey as a dormant bare-root plant or arises from a dormant bud grafted onto rootstock. Upon planting, the plant enters a vegetative stage characterized by the emergence of new stems, leaves, and roots as it establishes itself. This is followed by a flowering stage, during which the plant produces clusters of fragrant blossoms in various shades, typically from late spring through fall. After pollination, if successful, the flowers develop into fruit, commonly known as rose hips, which contain seeds that can lead to the reproduction of new plants. Come winter, the rose enters a period of dormancy, during which it conserves energy and can withstand cold temperatures. Yearly maintenance, including pruning in late winter or early spring, prepares the rose for the next cycle of growth and flowering.
PropogationPropogation time
Spring to Summer
The Rosa L'Aimant 'Harzola' (PBR) (F), commonly known as a variety of rose, is best propagated through the popular method of softwood cuttings. This technique is typically applied in late spring to early summer when new growth is mature enough to snap when bent but still young enough to display a green, supple stem. Cuttings, about 6 to 8 inches (15-20 centimeters) long, are taken from healthy, disease-free plants. The lower leaves are removed, and the cut end is dipped in rooting hormone to encourage root development. The cutting is then inserted into a moist potting mix or soil, ensuring at least two or three nodes are below the surface. The cutting should be placed in a well-lit area but not in direct sunlight and kept consistently moist until roots have established, and new growth is evident, typically within several weeks.
