WaterThe Hybrid Tea Rose, commonly known as Rosa Our Jane, requires watering once a week with about 1 gallon of water per plant during the growing season, ensuring that the soil is moist but well-drained. During the hot summer months or in particularly dry weather, it may require watering twice a week. It's important not to overwater, as this can lead to root rot. Reduce watering in the winter when the plant is dormant, providing just enough to keep the soil from drying out completely.
LightThe Hybrid Tea Rose prefers full sun, with at least six to eight hours of direct sunlight daily. Place the plant in a spot where it will receive morning light, which is less intense and can help dry dew from the leaves, reducing the likelihood of fungal diseases.
TemperatureHybrid Tea Roses thrive in temperatures between 65-75 degrees Fahrenheit. They can survive in temperatures as low as 20 degrees Fahrenheit during winter dormancy, but should be protected from harsh frosts. In hotter climates, they benefit from some afternoon shade to protect them from extreme heat exceeding 90 degrees Fahrenheit.
PruningPrune the Hybrid Tea Rose in late winter or early spring, just as the buds begin to swell, to promote healthy growth and air circulation, which helps prevent disease. Remove any dead, damaged, or diseased branches, and prune back to about one-third of the plant's size to maintain its shape and encourage new growth. Pruning should be done annually.
CleaningAs needed
SoilThe best soil mix for the rose 'Our Jane' should be well-draining with loamy character, enriched with organic matter like compost. The soil pH preferred is between 6.0 to 7.0. Amend the existing garden soil with aged manure and organic compost to increase fertility and improve texture.
RepottingRoses like 'Our Jane' are typically grown outdoors and do not require repotting. Instead, they may need occasional transplantation to rejuvenate soil and root conditions every few years, depending upon growth and soil quality.

Life cycleThe Rosa 'Our Jane', commonly known as 'Horengland', begins its life cycle when a seed germinates, typically in spring. After germination, the seedling grows into a young plant, developing roots, stems, and leaves through the vegetative growth stage. As the plant matures, it enters the flowering stage, usually in late spring to summer, during which it produces buds that bloom into the characteristic roses. Following pollination, which may be aided by insects or wind, the flowers develop into fruits called hips that contain seeds, completing the reproductive stage. Once mature, these hips can be dispersed by various means, allowing for the germination of new plants. The Rosa 'Our Jane' can live for several years, going through multiple cycles of vegetative growth and flowering, with some maintenance such as pruning required to encourage healthy growth and abundant blooms.
PropogationPropogation time
Spring to summer
Propogation: Rosa 'Our Jane' = 'Horengland', commonly known as a variety of rose, is typically propagated by softwood cuttings, which is the most popular method. This is done in late spring or early summer when the stems are green and flexible. A 6 to 8-inch (about 15 to 20 cm) cutting with several leaves is taken from a healthy plant, and the lower leaves are removed. The base of the cutting is then dipped in rooting hormone to encourage root development and planted in a moist potting mix. The pot is placed in a warm, bright area but out of direct sunlight to avoid overheating, and the soil is kept consistently moist until roots have established, which can take several weeks.
