Pruning

Water
The Rosa 'Harqueterwife', commonly known as a type of Hybrid Tea Rose, requires consistent moisture level, so it should be watered deeply once a week, providing about 1 to 1.5 inches of water each time. During the hottest parts of summer, the frequency may need to increase to twice a week. Avoid shallow watering as it doesn’t reach the deeper roots and can encourage weak growth. To check if watering is needed, feel the soil about an inch deep; if it's dry, it's time to water. Use a soaker hose or drip irrigation to deliver water directly to the base and avoid wetting the foliage, as this could lead to fungal diseases.
Light
Hybrid Tea Roses, like the Rosa 'Harqueterwife', thrive in full sun, requiring a minimum of 6 to 8 hours of direct sunlight per day. The best spot for the plant would be an open area without shade from nearby trees or buildings, ensuring it receives ample light throughout the day to promote healthy growth and abundant flowering.
Temperature
Rosa 'Harqueterwife' prefers a temperature range of 65 to 75 degrees Fahrenheit for optimal growth but can tolerate temperatures as low as 20 degrees Fahrenheit in winter dormancy and as high as 90 degrees Fahrenheit in the summer. However, prolonged exposure to temperatures outside of this range can be stressful to the plant, and protective measures may be needed during extreme weather.
Pruning
Prune the Hybrid Tea Rose 'Harqueterwife' in early spring, just as the buds begin to swell, to promote vigorous growth and optimal flowering. Remove dead, damaged, or diseased canes, and thin out the center of the plant to improve air circulation. Pruning should generally be done once a year, but light deadheading of spent blooms can be done throughout the growing season to encourage continued blooming.
Cleaning
As needed
Soil

Repotting
Hybrid Tea Roses like 'Harqueterwife' are typically not repotted as they are grown outdoors; instead, they should be transplanted every few years if necessary, usually in the dormant season.
Humidity & Misting
Hybrid Tea Roses such as 'Harqueterwife' do not require specific humidity levels; they thrive in outdoor environments where the humidity is natural and not controlled.

Life cycle
The Rosa 'Paul Shirville', commonly known as Hybrid Tea Rose, begins its life cycle as a dormant bare-root plant or a young plant in a container, which is typically planted in late winter or early spring. After planting, it undergoes a period of root establishment and vegetative growth, during which green shoots and leaves develop. As the plant matures, flower buds form, generally in late spring through summer, depending on the climate. These buds bloom into the characteristic large, fragrant flowers of the Hybrid Tea Rose, which may be cut for arrangements or left to adorn the garden. After blooming, if not deadheaded, the flowers may develop into rose hips (seed pods), which can be left on the plant to encourage dormancy or removed to promote further flowering. Annually, the rose undergoes a period of dormancy in the winter, during which pruning is recommended to prepare for the next cycle of growth and blooming in the spring.
Propogation
- Propogation time
  Spring to early summer
- The Rosa 'Paul Shirville', commonly known as the 'Harqueterwife', is a hybrid tea rose that is often propagated by taking semi-hardwood cuttings. This method is generally performed in late summer or early fall when the plant's growth begins to slow and the stems are not as tender as they are in spring. Cuttings should be about 6 to 8 inches (15 to 20 centimeters) long and taken from healthy, disease-free stems with a sharp, clean pair of pruning shears. Remove the leaves from the lower half of the cutting and dip the cut end into a rooting hormone to encourage root development. The cutting is then planted in well-draining soil, ensuring that the soil remains consistently moist but not waterlogged until roots have established, which can take several weeks to a few months. The cutting should be kept in indirect light and protected from extreme temperatures to improve the chances of successful rooting.
