Water
For a rose like Rosa The Charlatan a consistent watering schedule is key, especially during its blooming season and the establishment of new plantings. During the growing season, water the plant deeply once a week with about 1 to 1.5 gallons of water, ensuring moisture reaches the roots. During the hotter, drier months, increase watering to twice a week. Ensure the soil is well-draining to prevent root rot, and avoid overhead watering to reduce the risk of fungal diseases on the leaves. In the dormant season, you can reduce watering frequency, but do not allow the soil to become bone dry.
Light
Rosa The Charlatan thrives in full sunlight, where it can receive at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight daily. Plant it in a spot that is free from shadows cast by tall buildings or trees to ensure abundant blooms. While it can tolerate some very light shade, especially in the hottest parts of the day, too much shade will negatively impact its flowering and overall health.
Temperature
Roses like Rosa The Charlatan prefer temperatures that range between 65°F and 75°F for optimal growth. They can survive in temperatures as low as 20°F during their dormant period in winter; however, prolonged exposure to cold below this can be damaging. They can also handle heat up above 90°F, particularly if they are well-watered. The ideal temperature is a moderate climate where extremes in temperature are rare.
Pruning
Pruning Rosa The Charlatan improves the plant's air circulation, shape, and encourages vibrant blooms. Prune in late winter or early spring, removing dead or diseased wood and any thin or crossing branches. Aim to create an open vase shape, which allows light and air to penetrate the center of the plant. Prune back to an outward-facing bud to direct growth outwards. Deadheading spent flowers throughout the season will encourage continuous blooming.
Cleaning
As needed
Soil
Rose 'The Charlatan' prefers well-draining loamy soil enriched with organic matter. A good mix would be one-third garden soil, one-third compost or well-rotted manure, and one-third coarse sand or perlite. Maintain a soil pH between 6.0 and 6.5 for optimal health and flowering.
Repotting
Roses such as 'The Charlatan' generally don't require frequent repotting and are often planted directly in the garden. However, when grown in containers, repotting every 2-3 years or when the plant outgrows its current pot is advised.
Humidity & Misting
Roses like 'The Charlatan' are adaptable to a range of humidity levels and do best with average air humidity. Outdoor roses typically receive adequate humidity from the natural environment.
Suitable locations
- Indoor
  Ensure bright light, ample airflow, and regular watering.
- Outdoor
  Plant in full sun, fertile soil, water deeply and regularly.
- Hardiness zone
  5-9 USDA
Life cycle
Rosa 'The Charlatan', also known as 'Meiguimov', begins its life as a dormant bare-root plant or potted specimen in early spring. After planting, it enters a vegetative stage, growing leaves and new stems from the buds on existing canes. The plant then progresses into a blooming period where buds develop into characteristic fragrant flowers, typically from late spring through fall, depending on the climate. As flowers fade, they may be deadheaded to encourage further blooming and to maintain plant vitality. Following the blooming period, roses can produce rose hips if the flowers are left to mature, which can be harvested or left for winter interest. In winter, the rose enters a dormant period where growth slows and the plant conserves energy, often requiring protection from severe cold; this cycle repeats yearly.
Propogation
- Propogation time
  Spring to early summer
- Propogation: The Rosa The Charlatan, known as 'Meiguimov' (PBR) (S) is commonly propagated through semi-hardwood cuttings. The ideal time is during late summer when the plant is still actively growing, yet the stems are beginning to mature. To propagate via cuttings, a healthy, disease-free stem of about 6 to 8 inches (15 to 20 cm) length is chosen. The bottom leaves are removed, and the stem is cut just below a node. The cutting is then dipped in rooting hormone to encourage root development and planted in a well-draining soil mix. It is kept in a humid environment until roots develop, which typically takes a few weeks. Care should be taken to maintain consistent moisture levels but avoid waterlogging, as this could cause the cutting to rot.
