WaterThe Princess Anne rose requires regular watering, especially during its first few years and in dry spells to establish deep roots. Provide about 1 inch of water per week, but during periods of extreme heat or drought, increase the watering frequency to twice per week. It's best to water deeply and infrequently rather than shallow and often. Early morning is the ideal time to water to reduce evaporation and allow the foliage to dry out, as wet leaves can lead to fungal diseases. Adjust the watering based on weather conditions, with less water needed during rainy periods.
LightPrincess Anne roses thrive in full sun, meaning at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily. The best spot for planting is one where it will receive morning sun which is less intense and preferable, especially in hotter climates. Avoid overly shaded areas, as insufficient light can lead to poor blooming and an increased risk of disease.
TemperaturePrincess Anne roses do best in temperatures that range between 55°F and 85°F, which are typical for many rose varieties. They can survive occasional dips down to 20°F, but long periods of freezing temperatures without adequate protection can damage or kill the plant. Ideal growing conditions are achieved when daytime temperatures are around 70°F, with cooler nights.
PruningPrune the Princess Anne rose in late winter or early spring, removing dead or diseased wood and thinning out crowded areas to encourage air circulation. Prune back the remaining canes by about one-third to one-half to promote vigorous new growth and improve bloom quality. Deadheading, or removing spent flowers, throughout the season will also encourage more blooms.
CleaningAs needed
SoilPrincess Anne Rose thrives in well-drained soil with a pH between 6.0 and 7.0. A mix incorporating loamy garden soil, compost, aged manure, and a bit of sand or perlite for drainage is ideal. Mulching helps retain moisture and regulate soil temperature.
RepottingPrincess Anne Roses are usually grown outdoors and do not need routine repotting. If grown in containers, repot every 2 to 3 years to rejuvenate the soil and encourage healthy growth.
Humidity & MistingPrincess Anne Rose prefers outdoor conditions with natural humidity. It does well in average garden humidity levels but should be shielded from excessive moisture to avoid fungal diseases.

Life cycleThe Princess Anne rose begins its life as a dormant plant or bare-root specimen, typically planted in late winter or early spring. Once planted in well-drained soil with ample sunlight, the rose will break dormancy and sprout new shoots, entering a vegetative stage characterized by the growth of stems, leaves, and thorns. As the plant matures in late spring to early summer, flower buds develop and eventually bloom, showcasing its vibrant pink blossoms which may attract pollinators. After pollination, some roses might develop hips (seed pods), although many modern cultivars like Princess Anne are bred for repeat flowering and may not set seeds prolifically. Throughout the growing season, the rose will continue to produce flushes of flowers, requiring regular maintenance such as deadheading to encourage more blooms. Come fall and winter, the rose will enter a period of dormancy, conserving energy for the next growing season, and the cycle will begin anew with the return of warmer weather.
PropogationPropogation time
Spring-Early Summer
The Rosa Princess Anne, commonly known for its trademarked name 'Auskitchen', is typically propagated by softwood cuttings. This method involves selecting a healthy, non-flowering shoot from the current year's growth in late spring or early summer. The cutting, which should be about 4 to 6 inches (10 to 15 centimeters) long, is taken with a sharp, clean tool to prevent damage and disease. The lower leaves are removed, and the cut end is often dipped in rooting hormone to encourage root development before being planted in a well-draining soil mixture. The cutting needs to be kept under high humidity, such as with a plastic cover, and in indirect light until roots have established, which may take several weeks.
