Pruning

Water
The Patio Rose should be watered deeply once a week, providing about 1 to 1.5 gallons of water per plant. It's important to avoid overhead watering to prevent disease; instead, water at the base of the plant to keep the leaves dry. During hot and dry periods, increase the frequency to twice a week. Ensure the soil is well-drained to prevent water-logging. Reduce watering in the winter when the plant is dormant.
Light
Patio Roses thrive in full sun, meaning they require at least six hours of direct sunlight each day. The best spot for your Patio Rose is in an area where it can enjoy uninterrupted sunlight, which is essential for blooming and overall health. However, in extremely hot climates, they can benefit from light afternoon shade to prevent scorching.
Temperature
Patio Roses prefer a range of temperatures between 65°F and 75°F but can tolerate temperatures as low as the mid-30s°F without damage. These roses can survive in temperatures up to 90°F; however, prolonged exposure to extremes outside their comfort zone could stress the plant. Ideally, plant them in a spot where they are protected from harsh winter winds and extreme summer heat.
Pruning
Prune Patio Roses to remove dead or diseased wood, shape the plant, and encourage new growth that produces more flowers. The best time for major pruning is in late winter or early spring just before the new growth starts. Thin out crowded areas to increase air circulation, and cut back stems by about one third to one half. Deadheading spent blooms throughout the growing season will also promote continuous flowering.
Cleaning
As needed
Soil
Roses prefer well-drained, fertile soil with a pH between 6.0 and 7.0. A mix with organic matter like compost and perlite will ensure good drainage and aeration. Mulching helps maintain moisture and soil temperature.
Repotting
Patio roses, like the 'Rosa Shine On', typically require repotting every 2 to 3 years to replenish soil nutrients and to prevent root bounding.
Humidity & Misting
Roses generally do well in average garden humidity levels. They thrive with ambient outdoor humidity, without the need for specific humidity adjustments.
Suitable locations
- Indoor
  Place in a sunny spot, ensure good airflow, and water well.
- Outdoor
  Plant in full sun, water deeply, and protect roots with mulch.
- Hardiness zone
  5-9 USDA
Life cycle
The Rosa Shine On, commonly known as 'Dictalent' Patio Rose, begins its life as a dormant bare-root or potted plant typically in early spring. The planting stage follows, where it establishes roots and new shoots emerge from the grafting point. As it enters the vegetative growth phase, leaves and stems develop, creating a bushy structure. The flowering stage comes next as the plant produces buds that bloom into vibrant flowers, usually from late spring to autumn, depending on the climate and care. After the blooming, it reaches the maturity stage where it can be pruned to shape the plant and encourage further flowering cycles. In winter or the dormant season, the plant's growth slows down significantly, and it prepares to rest before the next growth cycle begins.
Propogation
- Propogation time
  Spring-summer
- Rosa Shine On, often referred to simply as a Patio rose, is typically propagated by softwood cuttings. This method involves taking a cutting from a healthy, new growth stem in late spring to early summer when the plant's sap is actively flowing. The cutting should be about 5 to 6 inches long with several leaves, and the lower end cut just below a leaf node. The lower leaves are removed, and the cut end often dipped in rooting hormone powder to encourage root development. It is then planted in a mixture of peat and perlite, ensuring the node where the leaves were removed is below the soil surface. The cutting should be kept in a well-lit area, but out of direct sunlight, and maintained in moist conditions by either misting regularly or covering with a plastic bag to maintain humidity. Roots typically develop in 4 to 8 weeks, after which it can be potted up in its own container.
