Water
The Hybrid Tea Rose should be watered deeply once a week, providing about 1 to 1.5 gallons of water per plant during the growing season, depending on weather conditions. In hot, dry spells, you may need to water twice a week. Ensure the soil is moist but not waterlogged. Avoid overhead watering to prevent leaf diseases; instead, water at the base of the plant early in the day. During winter or in cooler climates, reduce watering frequency as the plant's water needs decrease.
Light
Hybrid Tea Roses thrive in locations where they can receive at least six hours of direct sunlight daily. The best spot for your rose is an area with morning sun, which helps dry dew quickly and reduce the risk of fungal infections. Avoid overly shaded spots, as insufficient light can lead to poor flowering and increased susceptibility to pests and diseases.
Temperature
Hybrid Tea Roses prefer temperate conditions and grow best in temperatures ranging between 65°F and 75°F. They can survive minimum winter temperatures down to 20°F with proper protection. To encourage strong growth and flowering, maintain consistent temperatures within this range and avoid exposing the roses to extremes of heat or cold.
Pruning
Prune Hybrid Tea Roses in early spring to remove dead or damaged wood, improve air circulation, and shape the plant for optimal growth and bloom. Cut back about one-third of the plant's height, removing inward-facing canes to open up the center. Pruning should also be done after each bloom cycle to encourage new flowers. The best time for major pruning is when the plant is dormant, typically after the last frost.
Cleaning
As needed
Soil
Hybrid Tea Roses like 'The Cheshire Regiment' thrive best in well-draining soil with a mixture of one-third garden soil, one-third compost or well-rotted manure, and one-third sharp sand or perlite. These roses prefer a slightly acidic to neutral pH, ranging from 6.0 to 7.0.
Repotting
Hybrid Tea Roses such as 'The Cheshire Regiment' are generally planted outdoors and do not require repotting. In containers, however, they should be repotted every 2 to 3 years to replenish soil nutrients.
Humidity & Misting
Hybrid Tea Roses like 'The Cheshire Regiment' do well in moderate humidity levels but do not require specific humidity requirements. They grow best in outdoor conditions where natural humidity is sufficient.
Suitable locations
- Indoor
  Ensure bright light, good airflow, and consistent watering.
- Outdoor
  Plant in sunny spot, enrich soil, water regularly, mulch, prune.
- Hardiness zone

Life cycle
Rosa 'The Cheshire Regiment' begins its life cycle as a dormant bare-root or potted plant, which is planted in soil with ample sunlight and good drainage. The plant breaks dormancy in spring, with new shoots emerging from buds on canes and developing into leafy stems. Throughout the spring and summer, these stems produce lush foliage and buds that bloom into the characteristic full, fragrant flowers known for the Hybrid Tea class to which it belongs. After blooming, if the spent flowers are not deadheaded, they may develop into rose hips (seed pods). In fall, the plant prepares for dormancy; leaves may drop and the plant conserves energy. Through the winter, the plant remains dormant until warmer temperatures and longer daylight hours in spring trigger a new growth cycle.
Propogation
- Propogation time
  Spring to Summer
- Roses, including the 'Fryzebedee' variety, are commonly propagated by the method of softwood cuttings, especially for creating new plants identical to the parent. The optimal time for taking softwood cuttings is in spring or early summer when the plant's growth is most vigorous and the stems are still flexible. A cutting should be about 6 to 8 inches (15 to 20 centimeters) long with several leaves, and the lower end should be cut just below a leaf node. It's important to plant the cutting in a well-drained soil mixture and to keep it moist but not soggy. To improve the chances of rooting, one may use a rooting hormone before planting the cutting. The cutting should be placed in a location with indirect sunlight to enhance root development without the stress of direct sun. With proper care, roots should begin to form within several weeks, after which the new rose plant can be gradually acclimated to its permanent location.
