Water
Roses, including the variety known as Rosa 'The Lady', require regular watering to thrive. Provide deep watering to keep the soil moist but not waterlogged, aiming for 1 inch of water per week, either from rainfall or manual watering. During hot and dry weather, increase watering to twice a week, providing up to 2 gallons per plant each time to ensure deep root hydration. Avoid overhead watering to reduce the risk of leaf diseases; instead, use a soaker hose or water at the base of the plant. In the winter, reduce watering but ensure the roses do not completely dry out.
Light
Roses, like 'The Lady', need full sun to grow well. Full sun means at least 6 to 8 hours of direct sunlight per day. Plant your rose in a spot that receives morning sun, which is the most beneficial for the roses to dry dew off the leaves and prevent fungal diseases.
Temperature
Roses including 'The Lady' variety perform best in temperate climates with temperatures ranging from 65 to 75 degrees Fahrenheit. They can endure winter temperatures down to around 20 degrees Fahrenheit; however, extra mulch or protection may be needed. During the hot weather, roses will need more frequent watering and may suffer if temperatures go above 90 degrees Fahrenheit without proper care.
Pruning
Pruning 'The Lady' rose helps to shape the plant, promote vigorous growth, and improve air circulation, which can reduce the occurrence of diseases. Prune in late winter or early spring before new growth begins, removing dead or weak canes and shortening the remaining canes to 12 to 15 inches. During the growing season, deadhead spent blooms to encourage more flowers. Major pruning should be done annually, while light pruning and deadheading can be done as needed.
Cleaning
As needed
Soil
The Lady rose thrives best in well-drained, loamy soil with a pH of 6.5-7.0. Incorporate organic matter like compost or well-rotted manure into the planting hole to enrich the soil.
Repotting
Roses are typically not repotted as they are outdoor plants. However, The Lady rose should be replanted every 5-6 years to prevent soil exhaustion and encourage rejuvenation.
Humidity & Misting
The Lady rose prefers outdoor conditions with natural humidity levels and doesn't require specific humidity considerations beyond normal garden environments.
Suitable locations
- Indoor
  Place in sunny spot; water when top soil feels dry.
- Outdoor
  Plant in sunny area with good air circulation; water regularly.
- Hardiness zone
  5-9 USDA
Life cycle
The Lady rose begins its life cycle as a dormant bare-root plant or a potted specimen with leaf buds. After planting, the buds break dormancy in spring, growing into shoots that develop leaves and thorns. Throughout the spring and summer, it enters the vegetative stage followed by the flowering stage, when the rose produces fragrant pink blossoms that attract pollinators. After pollination, the flowers may develop into rose hips (fruit) containing seeds, although many modern roses like The Lady are often sterile or propagated asexually. As temperatures drop in autumn, The Lady rose enters a period of dormancy, wherein growth slows and the plant conserves energy. This cyclical pattern repeats year after year, with pruning and care helping to rejuvenate the plant each spring.
Propogation
- Propogation time
  Spring to Summer
- Rosa The Lady, also known as 'Fryjingo', is commonly propagated by the method of softwood cuttings. The optimal time for taking softwood cuttings is in late spring to early summer when the plant's new growth is beginning to mature but is still flexible. During this period, the stems are in the ideal physiological state to form roots. To propagate, a gardener should select a healthy, disease-free shoot and cut a piece about 6 inches (15 centimeters) long, just below a leaf node. The leaves on the lower half of the cutting should be removed, and the cut end can be dipped in a rooting hormone to increase the likelihood of successful root development. The cutting is then planted in a pot filled with well-draining soil, watered thoroughly, and placed in a warm, humid environment with indirect light until roots have formed, which usually takes several weeks. This straightforward approach leverages the plant's natural ability to regenerate, making it the most popular method for expanding Rosa The Lady gardens.
