WaterThe Climbing Rose 'Teasing Georgia' should be watered deeply once a week, ensuring the root zone is thoroughly soaked. During hot or dry periods, increase watering to twice per week. Aim to provide about 1 to 1.5 gallons of water at each session. Avoid overhead watering to reduce the risk of leaf diseases; instead, use a soaker hose or direct the water to the base of the plant. In winter, reduce watering, but do not allow the soil to become completely dry.
LightClimbing Rose 'Teasing Georgia' thrives in full sun conditions, requiring at least 6 to 8 hours of direct sunlight daily. The ideal spot for this rose is in an area that gets morning light, which helps dry dew rapidly, reducing the incidence of fungal diseases. An east-facing location that avoids the intense heat of the late afternoon is optimal.
TemperatureClimbing Rose 'Teasing Georgia' can survive a range of temperatures but grows best when daytime temperatures are between 70°F and 80°F. This rose can endure minimum temperatures down to about 10°F, but it will require protection during harsh winters. The ideal growing conditions are moderate temperatures with consistent warmth during the growing season.
PruningPruning Climbing Rose 'Teasing Georgia' is essential for promoting vigorous growth and abundant blooms. Prune in late winter or early spring before new growth starts. Remove dead or damaged canes and open up the center of the plant for better air circulation. Prune side shoots back to two or three buds to encourage flowering. The best time for major pruning is when the plant is dormant.
CleaningAs needed

Life cycleRosa 'Teasing Georgia' begins its life as a dormant bare-root plant or potted specimen which, upon planting in spring or early fall, initiates root growth followed by the emergence of shoots. Leaves unfold from the shoots, and with adequate sunlight, water, and nutrients, the plant enters a vegetative state where foliage develops and thickens. As the plant matures, typically within the first year of planting, flower buds form and bloom into the characteristic double yellow flowers of 'Teasing Georgia' during the growing season, often with multiple flushes from late spring through fall. After pollination, some roses may develop hips (seed pods), though 'Teasing Georgia' is typically grown for its flowers rather than seed production. In the fall, the plant begins to prepare for dormancy; leaves may drop and growth slows as temperatures decrease. The rose then overwinters in a dormant state, with pruning often done during this period to shape the plant and encourage vigorous growth and flowering in the next season.
PropogationPropogation time
Spring-Early Summer
The most popular method for propagating the Rosa 'Teasing Georgia', also known as a David Austin Rose, is through softwood cuttings. This process typically occurs during late spring or early summer when new growth is soft and flexible. Cuttings should be taken from healthy stems with at least three leaf sets. The bottom two sets of leaves are removed, and the cut end is dipped in rooting hormone powder to encourage root growth. Then, the cutting is planted in a pot filled with a mixture of potting soil and perlite or sand, ensuring that the leaf node is buried where the roots are expected to form. The pot should be placed in a warm, bright area but not in direct sunlight, and the soil kept consistently moist. Roots usually develop within 4 to 8 weeks, at which point the new plants can be transferred to individual pots to grow on before being planted out.
