Water
For the most common common name, water the rose bush 'Paul Noël' to keep the soil evenly moist, particularly during hot, dry periods. It is best to water the plant deeply every week with about 1-2 gallons, ensuring water penetrates the soil to a depth of 12-18 inches. Avoid overhead watering to minimize the risk of leaf diseases; instead, apply water directly to the base of the plant. During the growing season, increase the frequency to twice a week if the weather is particularly hot or windy. Always check the soil moisture before watering to avoid overwatering, as roses do not like to sit in wet soil.
Light
Roses, including the 'Paul Noël', thrive best in full sunlight. They need at least 6-8 hours of direct sun daily for optimal growth and flower production. Position the rose bush in a spot where it will receive morning sun, which is less intense, to help dry dew from the leaves and reduce the risk of fungal diseases. Avoid placing it in deep shade or heavily filtered light, as this can result in poor blooming and weak growth.
Temperature
The 'Paul Noël' rose does well in a range of temperatures but prefers a range between 65 to 75 degrees Fahrenheit for optimum growth. They can tolerate colder winter periods down to around 20 degrees Fahrenheit, but during active growth, they should be protected from temperatures exceeding 90 degrees Fahrenheit. Maintaining an ideal temperature helps ensure the rose bush remains healthy and produces abundant blooms.
Pruning
Prune the 'Paul Noël' rose to maintain plant health, encourage vigorous growth, and improve blooming. The best time to prune is in late winter or early spring, just as the buds begin to swell. Remove any dead, damaged, or diseased wood, and thin out the center to improve air circulation. Cut back one-third to one-half of the previous year's growth to promote strong, new shoots and plenty of flowers. Annual pruning also helps to give the plant a pleasing shape.
Cleaning

Life cycle
The life cycle of Rosa 'Paul Noël', commonly known as 'Paul Noël' rose, begins with the germination of rose seeds or the rooting of cuttings, both methods capable of starting a new plant. After establishment, a seedling or rooted cutting enters a vegetative growth phase, during which stems, leaves, and roots develop and mature. This is followed by the flowering stage, where buds form and eventually bloom into the fragrant, large, salmon-pink roses characteristic of 'Paul Noël'. The flowers are typically lush in late spring to early summer, with a possible repeat bloom in the fall. After pollination, if it occurs, the flowers produce hips (fruit) containing seeds for the next generation. In the final stage, as a perennial, the plant enters dormancy during colder months, reducing metabolic activity to survive the winter, and resuming growth with the return of warmer weather.
Propogation
- Propogation time
  Spring-Early Summer
- The most popular method of propagating the Rose 'Paul Noël' is through softwood cuttings. This process involves taking a cutting from a healthy, new growth stem of the plant, which typically measures between 4 to 6 inches (10 to 15 centimeters) long. The best time to take cuttings is in late spring to early summer when the plant's growth is most vigorous. Cuttings should be snipped just below a leaf node and it's advisable to remove any flowers or buds to direct the plant's energy into root development. The bottom end of the cutting is then dipped in rooting hormone to facilitate root growth and planted in a well-draining soil mix. The cutting should be kept under high humidity and indirect light until the roots have established, which generally takes several weeks. Once rooted, the new plants can be gradually acclimatized to less humid conditions and eventually moved to their permanent locations.
