WaterThe hybrid tea rose 'Pride of England' should be watered deeply but infrequently to encourage the roots to grow deeper into the soil, ideally once a week with about 1 to 1.5 gallons of water per plant during its growing season. During the hot summer months, it is essential to increase the frequency to twice per week ensuring the soil remains moist but never waterlogged. In winter, water sparingly, only when the soil is dry to the touch. Always water early in the morning directly at the base of the plant to minimize evaporation and prevent foliar diseases.
Light'Pride of England' roses require full sun to flourish, meaning they should receive at least 6 to 8 hours of direct sunlight daily. The best spot for growing 'Pride of England' is an area that gets uninterrupted sun throughout the day. Locations that provide morning sunlight are particularly beneficial as they help dry the dew on the leaves, reducing the risk of disease.
Temperature'Pride of England' roses flourish in moderate temperatures and can handle brief periods of heat or cold. They are hardy in USDA zones 5 through 9, tolerating minimum temperatures down to -20°F and withstanding highs well into the 90s°F. The ideal temperature range for robust growth is between 65°F and 75°F during the day.
Pruning'Pride of England' roses should be pruned to maintain shape, encourage new growth, and improve air circulation. The best time to prune is early spring when new shoots begin to appear. Remove any dead or damaged wood, thin out crowded areas, and cut back remaining canes by about one-third to one-half. Pruning should generally be done annually, with additional minor trimming as needed throughout the growing season to remove faded blooms and deadhead.

Life cycleRosa 'Pride of England', commonly known as a variety of Hybrid Tea Rose, begins its life cycle as a dormant bare-root plant or potted specimen. Once planted, it breaks dormancy in spring, producing shoots that develop leaves and thorns. As the plant matures, buds form and eventually bloom into the characteristic large, fragrant flowers -- often in late spring to early summer. The roses undergo a cycle of blooming, which can repeat several times throughout the growing season, especially if spent blooms are deadheaded. In autumn, the plant prepares for dormancy, potentially producing hips (fruit) if flowers have been pollinated and not deadheaded. Over winter, the rose lies dormant, conserving energy to start the cycle anew come the next growing season.
PropogationPropogation time
Spring-Early Summer
Rosa 'Pride of England' is typically propagated by semi-hardwood cuttings, which is the most widespread method for hybrid tea roses. The best time for taking cuttings is in late summer or early autumn when the plant's growth begins to harden. During this period, a cutting of about 6 to 8 inches (15 to 20 cm) should be snipped just below a node, as this is where the concentration of growth hormones is highest. The leaves on the lower half of the cutting are removed, and the cut end can be dipped in rooting hormone to encourage faster root development. The prepared cutting is then placed in a pot filled with a mixture of perlite and peat moss to provide a well-draining yet moist environment. It's important to maintain high humidity around the cutting, often achieved through a plastic cover, and to keep the medium consistently moist but not waterlogged. Rooting typically takes a few weeks, after which the new rose plants can be gradually acclimated to outdoor conditions and eventually planted in the garden.
