WaterRed Abundance roses should be watered deeply once a week, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings. In hot, dry conditions, they may require additional water, possibly twice a week. It's important to avoid overhead watering to minimize the risk of leaf diseases. Instead, use a soaker hose or drip irrigation to deliver water directly to the base of the plant. Typically, 1 to 1.5 gallons per plant should be sufficient for a weekly watering, but be sure to adjust the amount based on rainfall and temperature conditions.
LightRed Abundance roses thrive in full sun, which means they require at least six hours of direct sunlight each day. It's best to position them in a spot where they receive early morning sun, as this helps dry any dew on the leaves and can reduce the likelihood of disease. Avoid planting in areas that are shaded for most of the day as this can impede flowering and make the roses more susceptible to pests and diseases.
TemperatureRed Abundance roses perform best in temperatures ranging from 65°F to 75°F but can survive in temperatures as low as 20°F and as high as 90°F. They require a period of dormancy in the winter, so a cold period with temperatures below 40°F for approximately two months is beneficial for their growth cycle. However, it is crucial to protect them from extreme cold and frost during their dormancy for optimum health.
PruningPrune Red Abundance roses in late winter or early spring, when the forsythias bloom, to promote healthy growth and maintain a pleasing shape. Remove dead or diseased wood, thin out crowded areas to improve air circulation, and cut back remaining canes by about one-third to one-half. Annual pruning encourages new growth, which leads to more blooms, and should be performed while the plant is still dormant to minimize stress.
CleaningAs needed
SoilRosa Red Abundance, commonly known as the Red Abundance rose, thrives in well-draining soil with plenty of organic matter such as compost. The ideal soil pH ranges from slightly acidic to neutral, around 6.0 to 7.0. A blend of two-thirds garden soil and one-third aged compost or well-rotted manure creates an optimal growing medium for this rose.
RepottingRed Abundance roses, grown in pots, should be repotted every 2-3 years or when the growth appears hindered by the pot size. It is best to repot in early spring before the growing season starts, using fresh soil mix to replenish nutrients.
Humidity & MistingRed Abundance roses prefer outdoor environments and do not have specific humidity requirements. These roses generally adapt to the ambient humidity levels outside and will be content with the natural conditions provided by the local climate.
Suitable locationsIndoor
Place in bright spot; water regularly; use well-draining pot.
Outdoor
Plant in sunny area, enrich soil, space 2-3 feet apart.

Life cycleThe Red Abundance Rose begins its life cycle as a dormant bare-root plant or potted specimen during late winter or early spring. After planting, the rose enters a growth phase where it develops foliage, stems, and a root system, typically in early to mid-spring. Flower buds form and bloom into vibrant red roses from late spring through summer, depending on the climate and growing conditions. Following the flowering stage, roses may produce hips (seed pods) if blooms are not deadheaded, which can mark a stage of potential seed dispersal. In fall, the plant starts to prepare for dormancy, often showing reduced growth and entering a rest period over the winter months. Each year, the rose may grow larger and more robust, creating a cyclical pattern of growth, blooming, and dormancy throughout its lifespan.

Spring to Summer
The Rosa Red Abundance 'Harkimono' is often propagated through semi-hardwood cuttings. This method involves taking cuttings from the current season's growth that has begun to mature but is not fully hardened, usually in late summer. Cuttings should be about 6 inches (15 centimeters) long with several leaves left on, and the base of the cutting should be dipped in rooting hormone to enhance root development. The cuttings are then inserted into a potting mix that drains well, such as a blend of peat and perlite or sand. Maintaining a high humidity environment for the cuttings is important, which can often be achieved by covering the pots with plastic bags or placing them in a propagator. Roots typically form in a few weeks, after which the rooted cuttings can be transferred to individual pots to grow on before being planted out.
