Water
For the Rosa 'Harhappen', commonly known as the Rose 'Pure Gold', it's important to maintain consistent moisture without over-watering. Generally, water it once a week with about 1-1.5 gallons of water, depending on weather conditions. During the hot summer months, you might need to water twice a week, ensuring the soil remains moist but not soggy. Always water at the base of the plant to avoid wetting the foliage, which can lead to fungal diseases. Reduce watering in the winter when the plant is dormant.
Light
The Rose 'Pure Gold' thrives in full sunlight, needing at least six hours of direct light daily to perform best. Choose a spot in the garden that is not shaded by trees or buildings, as roses need ample light for energy production and blooming. Avoid overly windy spots which can desiccate the flowers and burn the leaves.
Temperature
Rose 'Pure Gold' plants are robust and can tolerate a range of temperatures, but they perform best between 60 and 75 degrees Fahrenheit. They can survive dips in temperature down to around 20 degrees Fahrenheit, but prolonged exposure to cold below this point can damage the plant. It's important to avoid planting them in locations where temperatures could rise above 90 degrees Fahrenheit for extended periods, as extreme heat can cause stress to the roses.
Pruning
Pruning the Rose 'Pure Gold' is essential for encouraging strong growth and enhancing its prolific blooming. Prune in early spring as new buds begin to swell, removing dead or damaged wood and opening up the plant's center to improve air circulation. Shape the bush to maintain an attractive form and remove spent flowers throughout the blooming season to encourage more blooms. Typically, roses are pruned once a year, but deadheading, the removal of spent flowers, can be done regularly.
Cleaning
As needed
Soil
The Rosa Pure Gold ('Harhappen') prefers well-draining soil enriched with organic matter, such as compost or aged manure, and a slightly acidic to neutral pH between 6.0 and 7.0. A good mix for this rose would be one-third garden soil, one-third organic compost, and one-third coarse sand or perlite to facilitate drainage.
Repotting
Roses, such as the Rosa Pure Gold ('Harhappen'), typically do not require frequent repotting and can thrive in the same pot for several years. However, if growth seems stunted or the soil is exhausted, repotting every 2-3 years in early spring is beneficial.
Humidity & Misting
The Rosa Pure Gold ('Harhappen') prefers average outdoor humidity levels. While roses do not require a specific humidity level, they benefit from good air circulation to prevent disease, aiming for a level around 40-60% if possible.
Suitable locations
- Indoor
  Ensure ample light, proper watering, and periodic feeding.
- Outdoor
  Plant in sunny spot, ensure good drainage, protect from extreme cold.
- Hardiness zone
  5-9 USDA
Life cycle
The Rosa 'Pure Gold' = 'Harhappen', more commonly known as a type of rose, begins its life as a dormant grafted bare-root plant or potted young rose in early spring. Once planted, it breaks dormancy and sprouts new shoots, entering a vegetative state characterized by leaf and stem growth. As the plant matures through spring into early summer, it develops buds that will bloom into the characteristic golden-yellow roses, typically going through repeated blooming cycles in favorable conditions until late summer or early fall. After the flowering stage, the roses will form hips (seed pods) if the flowers have been pollinated, entering a reproductive phase that may contribute to the propagation of new plants. In autumn, the rose will begin to go dormant, with leaves turning color and falling off, preparing for the winter rest period. Finally, if conditions are right, the cycle begins anew with the next growing season, with the rose coming out of dormancy ready to grow and bloom once more.
Propogation
- Propogation time
  Spring to early summer
- Rosa Pure Gold = 'Harhappen' is typically propagated by semi-hardwood cuttings, a popular method for propagating roses. The best time to take cuttings is from late summer to early autumn. To propagate by cuttings, select a healthy, disease-free branch that has recently bloomed. Cut a piece about 6 to 8 inches (15 to 20 cm) long, ensuring it has at least three sets of leaves. Remove the leaves from the lower half and dip the cut end into a rooting hormone to encourage root growth. Plant the cutting in a pot filled with moist, well-draining potting mix. Cover the pot with a plastic bag or place it in a greenhouse to maintain high humidity. Roots usually develop in a few weeks, after which the new plant can eventually be transplanted outdoors.
