WaterHybrid Tea Roses, the category to which the 'Silver Anniversary' rose belongs, should be watered deeply but infrequently to encourage root development. Generally, providing about 1 to 2 gallons of water per plant once a week during the growing season is sufficient. However, in hot and dry weather, they may require additional water, possibly twice a week. To avoid disease, water directly at the base of the plant early in the day to allow foliage to dry. During the winter, reduce watering, but do not allow the roses to completely dry out.
LightHybrid Tea Roses such as the 'Silver Anniversary' rose should be planted in a location that receives at least six hours of direct sunlight daily. They thrive in full sun, which encourages vigorous growth and abundant flowering. Avoid planting in areas that are shaded for a significant portion of the day as this can lead to poor blooming and increases the susceptibility to disease.
TemperatureThe 'Silver Anniversary' rose is hardy and can generally withstand typical garden conditions in USDA hardiness zones 5 through 10. These roses tend to prefer temperatures between 65 and 75 degrees Fahrenheit but can survive fluctuations outside this range. They can handle temperatures as low as about 20 degrees Fahrenheit and as high as 90 degrees Fahrenheit, but extreme temperatures can negatively affect plant health and bloom production.
PruningPrune 'Silver Anniversary' roses to maintain plant health, shape the bush, and encourage vibrant blooms. Pruning should be done annually in early spring, just as new buds begin to swell. Remove any dead or diseased wood, thin out crowded areas to improve air circulation, and cut back remaining canes by about one-third to one-half their height. Pruning after the first wave of flowering can also encourage a second bloom in the same season.
CleaningAs needed
SoilThe best soil mix for the Hybrid Tea Rose 'Silver Anniversary' is well-draining loam with organic matter such as compost or decomposed manure. It prefers a pH between 6.0 and 6.5. Regular mulching helps maintain soil moisture and health.

Life cycleRosa 'Silver Anniversary', commonly known as the Silver Anniversary rose, starts its life cycle as a dormant bare-root or potted specimen. When planted in the spring, it enters a growth phase, developing roots, foliage, and stems. Flower buds form and bloom into characteristic large, fragrant white roses primarily from late spring to fall. After blooming, the plant sets hips (seed pods) if the flowers are not deadheaded. In winter, the rose becomes dormant, losing leaves in colder climates, and requires pruning to maintain shape and encourage vigorous growth in the next cycle. The process repeats annually, with the shrub potentially living and flowering for several decades with proper care.
PropogationPropogation time
Spring-Early Summer
The Rosa 'Silver Anniversary', commonly known as Hybrid Tea Rose, is best propagated by semi-hardwood cuttings. This technique is generally performed in late summer or early fall when the growth from the current season has begun to harden slightly. The most popular method involves taking a cutting of about 6 to 8 inches (15 to 20 centimeters) long from a healthy, disease-free plant. The bottom end of the cutting should be cut just below a leaf node, and the lower leaves should be removed. The cut end is often treated with a rooting hormone to encourage root development before it is placed into a well-draining growing medium, such as a mix of half peat and half perlite. The cutting should then be kept moist but not waterlogged and placed in a warm location with indirect light. After several weeks, the cutting should develop roots and can be transplanted into its own pot.
