WaterThe Ruby Anniversary Rose should be watered deeply, ensuring the water reaches the root zone, about once a week under normal weather conditions. During hot and dry periods, it may require watering twice a week. Use a soaker hose or a drip irrigation system to avoid wetting the foliage, which can lead to disease. Ideally, apply about 1 to 2 gallons of water for each watering session, depending on soil type and weather. Avoid over-watering as this can cause root rot. During the winter, reduce watering frequency, but do not allow the soil to completely dry out.
LightThe Ruby Anniversary Rose thrives in full sun conditions, meaning it requires at least 6 to 8 hours of direct sunlight daily. The best spot for the plant is an area where it can receive unfiltered, morning sunlight, which is less harsh than the afternoon sun. Avoid locations that are shaded for most of the day or are heavily affected by light obstructions such as trees or nearby buildings.
TemperatureThe Ruby Anniversary Rose performs best in temperatures ranging between 70°F and 85°F. It can survive minimum temperatures down to around 20°F, but protection from harsh winter chills is advisable to prevent damage. During scorching summer days above 90°F, ensure the plant has adequate water and possibly some afternoon shade to mitigate heat stress.
PruningPrune the Ruby Anniversary Rose to promote healthy growth, improve air circulation, and shape the plant. The best time to prune is in late winter or early spring before new growth begins. Remove any dead, damaged, or diseased canes, and prune up to one-third of old growth to encourage vigorous new shoots. Deadheading, or removing spent flowers, should be done regularly to encourage more blooms.
CleaningAs needed
SoilThe Ruby Anniversary Rose thrives in well-draining, fertile soil with a pH of 6.0 to 6.5. A mix of loam, compost, and organic matter like well-rotted manure or peat moss will provide the necessary nutrients and aeration.

Life cycleThe Ruby Anniversary Rose begins its life cycle from a dormant bare-root or potted plant. After planting, it enters a vegetative stage, growing leaves, stems, and roots. The rose then enters a reproductive phase during late spring to summer, when it produces tightly furled buds that bloom into vibrant, fragrant flowers. Following pollination, which may be assisted by insects and birds, the plant may develop rose hips (fruit) containing seeds if not deadheaded. In autumn, the rose starts to go dormant, conserving its energy and dropping leaves in response to cooler temperatures and shorter days. Finally, the plant endures winter dormancy, during which it requires minimal care to survive the cold before the cycle recommences with the return of favorable growing conditions in spring.

Spring-Early Summer
The Rosa Ruby Anniversary, commonly known as the Patio Rose, is best propagated through a process known as stem cuttings. This is done typically in late fall or early winter when the plant is dormant. The process involves taking a healthy cutting from a mature plant, which should be about 6 to 8 inches long (15 to 20 centimeters). The bottom leaves are removed and the cut end is often dipped into a rooting hormone to encourage growth. The stem is then planted in a mixture of sand and peat, ensuring the soil is kept moist until roots have developed and new growth appears, indicating that the cutting has successfully started to root and can eventually be transplanted into the garden.
