WaterThe Rosa 'Lucky!', commonly known as Hybrid Tea Rose, should be watered deeply but infrequently, ensuring even soil moisture. A good rule is to provide about 1 to 2 gallons per week, but this may need adjustment based on weather conditions. During hot, dry periods, water should be increased, especially for new plants or those in containers. Make sure not to overwater – soggy soil can lead to root rot. It's best to water in the morning to allow foliage to dry before evening.
LightHybrid Tea Roses, such as the Rosa 'Lucky!', require full sunlight to thrive. This means they need at least 6 to 8 hours of direct sunlight each day. Ideal placement would be in a location that receives morning sun and is sheltered from the hottest afternoon rays, as intense heat can sometimes stress the plant.
TemperatureHybrid Tea Roses like Rosa 'Lucky!' prefer moderate climates with temperatures ranging between 65°F and 75°F for their optimal growth. They can survive minimum winter temperatures down to about 20°F but should be protected from extreme cold spells. The ideal temperature conditions for these roses are days that are warm and nights that are cool, which helps foster robust blooms.
PruningPruning Hybrid Tea Roses, including Rosa 'Lucky!', is essential for maintaining plant health and encouraging vigorous blooms. Prune early in the spring after the last frost but before new growth begins. Remove dead wood, weak or sickly stems, and thin out the center to improve air circulation. Aim to shape the bush and to allow sunlight to penetrate to the base of the plant. Pruning should be done annually for best results.

Life cycleThe Rose 'Lucky!', with the botanical identifier Rosa 'Frylucy' (F), begins its life as a dormant graft or bare root plant that is planted in well-draining soil in early spring. After planting, the graft union should be just above the soil surface, and the plant will soon sprout leaves and canes as temperatures warm. The rose bush then enters a vegetative stage, producing lush foliage and stems which will support the blooms. Flowering typically occurs in late spring to early summer; 'Lucky!' produces vibrant, often multi-colored blossoms that will continue to bloom in cycles until the first hard frost. Throughout its growing season, the plant requires regular watering, feeding, and pruning to maintain health and promote further blooming. As winter approaches, 'Lucky!' enters a period of dormancy where growth slows and the plant conserves energy for the next growing season.
PropogationPropogation time
Spring-Early Summer
Rosa Lucky!, commonly known as a variety of rose, is best propagated through a method called softwood cuttings, which is generally done during late spring or early summer when the plant's new growth is still green but has begun to mature. To propagate via this method, a cutting of about 4 to 6 inches (10 to 15 centimeters) long with several leaves is taken. The lower leaves are removed, and the cut end is often dipped in rooting hormone to enhance root development. This treated cutting is then inserted into a well-draining soil mix, ensuring at least one node (where the leaves join the stem) is below the soil surface. The cutting should be kept moist and in a warm, bright location out of direct sunlight until roots have developed, which typically takes a few weeks. After significant root growth, it can be transplanted to a more permanent location.
