Pruning

Water
Groundcover roses like Rosa Lancashire require consistent watering to maintain moist soil, especially during dry spells. In the absence of rainfall, provide about one inch of water per week, which may be around 0.623 gallons per square yard of soil. During the hottest parts of the summer, you may need to water twice a week. Ensure the water penetrates deeply into the soil, reaching the roots without leaving the plant soggy. Deep watering encourages a strong root system; avoid just wetting the surface.
Light
Groundcover roses need full sun to thrive, meaning at least 6 to 8 hours of direct sunlight daily. Plant Rosa Lancashire in an area where it will receive ample sunlight throughout the day to encourage robust growth and abundant flowering. Avoid spots that are shaded for most of the day, as too little light can lead to fewer blooms and weak growth.
Temperature
Rosa Lancashire thrives in temperate climates and can tolerate a range of temperatures. They are generally hardy in temperatures as low as 20 degrees Fahrenheit and can endure summer highs well into the 90s. The ideal growing conditions for groundcover roses are between 65 and 75 degrees Fahrenheit. These roses are resilient but prolonged extreme temperatures can stress the plant.
Pruning
Pruning Rosa Lancashire helps maintain its shape, encourage new growth, and prevent disease by increasing air circulation. Prune in late winter or early spring before new growth starts, removing dead or weak canes and shaping the plant. Annual pruning is typically sufficient, but light trimming can be done throughout the season to shape the plant or remove spent blooms to encourage repeat flowering.
Cleaning
As needed
Soil
The best soil mix for the Lancashire rose should be fertile, well-draining, and have a pH between 6.0 and 7.0. A mix with loam, organic compost, and some sand or perlite for improved drainage would be ideal for this plant's growth.
Repotting
Lancashire roses, being predominantly outdoor plants, do not typically require repotting. Instead, they should be planted in a suitable location where they can grow without the need to be moved.
Humidity & Misting
Lancashire roses do not require specific humidity levels as they are adaptable, but they do prefer outdoor conditions where natural humidity contributes to their growth.
Suitable locations
- Indoor
  Place in bright, indirect light, and ensure good air circulation.
- Outdoor
  Plant in full sun with well-draining soil.
- Hardiness zone
  5-9 USDA
Life cycle
The life stages of Rosa Lancashire 'Korstesgli', more commonly known as Lancashire Rose, start with seed germination, although commercially it’s more common to propagate through cuttings or grafting. Once established, the plant enters a vigorous vegetative growth phase where it develops a robust root system and foliage. The next stage is flowering, typically in late spring to summer, when the Lancashire Rose produces its characteristic flowers, often recurring until fall. After pollination, if it occurs, the plant would produce hips (fruit) containing seeds, although ornamental varieties may be less focused on seed production. As a perennial, the plant will go into dormancy during the winter, especially in colder climates, conserving energy for the next growing season. With each subsequent year, the plant matures, potentially growing larger and producing more blooms until it reaches its peak reproductive and vegetative state.
Propogation
- Propogation time
  Spring to early summer
- The Rosa Lancashire, known commonly as Lancashire rose, is frequently propagated by softwood cuttings. This process typically takes place during late spring or early summer when the plant's growth is most vigorous. Cuttings should be about 5 to 6 inches (approximately 12.7 to 15.2 cm) long, taken from the current year's growth and include at least two or three sets of leaves. The bottom end of the cutting is often dipped in rooting hormone to encourage root development and then planted in a well-draining potting mix. It is essential to maintain humidity around the cuttings by placing them under a plastic cover or in a propagator and keeping them in indirect light until they establish a robust root system, which usually takes a few weeks.
