Pruning

Water
The Times Rose should be watered deeply once a week, allowing the soil to dry out slightly between waterings. Apply the water directly to the base of the plant to avoid wetting the foliage, which can lead to fungal diseases. During the peak summer months or in hot climates, you may need to water twice weekly. Provide about 1-2 gallons of water for each plant during each watering session to ensure the root zone is thoroughly moistened.
Light
The Times Rose requires full sun to thrive, meaning at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight each day. The best spot for this rose would be a south-facing garden that provides ample sunshine from morning until afternoon. Roses grown in partial shade may not bloom as prolifically and can be more prone to pests and diseases.
Temperature
The Times Rose prefers a temperate climate with temperatures ranging between 55°F and 75°F for optimal growth. These roses can survive winter temperatures down to around 20°F, but should be protected from extreme cold. During hot weather, roses can tolerate temperatures up to 90°F, although prolonged heat can stress the plant.
Pruning
Prune The Times Rose in late winter or early spring to remove dead or diseased wood, to shape the plant, and to encourage vigorous growth. Pruning also stimulates blooming since roses bloom on new wood. Remove any inward-growing branches to improve air circulation. The best time for major pruning is when the plant is dormant, just before the last frost.
Cleaning
As needed
Soil
The Times Rose, commonly referred to as a rose, thrives best in well-draining, loamy soil enriched with organic matter such as compost or well-rotted manure. A slightly acidic to neutral pH between 6.0 and 7.0 is ideal for roses. The soil should be moderately fertile and able to retain moisture without becoming waterlogged.
Repotting
Roses, like The Times Rose, grown in containers may require repotting every 2 to 3 years or when they outgrow their current pot. It is best done during their dormant season, typically in late winter or early spring.
Humidity & Misting
Roses, including The Times Rose, prefer moderate humidity levels but are adaptable to various conditions. Outdoor plants will generally receive sufficient humidity from their natural environment, while indoor roses may benefit from occasional misting.
Suitable locations
- Indoor
  Provide bright light, water when soil is dry, and ensure good airflow.
- Outdoor
  Plant in full sun, ensure good air circulation, water deeply.
- Hardiness zone
  5-9 USDA
Life cycle
The Times Rose, or 'Korpeahn', begins its life cycle with seed germination, where the seeds require a period of stratification to break dormancy before sprouting. The seedlings then establish themselves, developing a root system and foliage through the vegetative growth stage. As the plant matures, it enters the reproductive stage, characterized by the development of buds that bloom into the characteristic fragrant flowers. After pollination, often by insects, the flowers develop into fruit, known as hips, which contain seeds for the next generation. The rose plant will continue to grow and produce flowers annually, going through a dormant period in colder climates during winter months. Pruning is a crucial management practice that stimulates new growth and flower production in subsequent seasons.
Propogation
- Propogation time
  Early spring
- Propogation: The best time to propagate the Rosa 'The Times Rose' is in late winter or early spring when the plant is just coming out of dormancy and before it has started its active growth phase. The most popular method for propagating this type of rose is through softwood cuttings. This involves taking a cutting from the tip of a healthy, new season's growth that is about 6 to 8 inches long. The leaves on the lower half of the cutting should be removed, and the cut end dipped in rooting hormone to encourage root development. The cutting is then planted in a mixture of half perlite and half peat moss to provide a well-draining growing medium. It should be kept in a warm place with indirect light and high humidity, often achieved by covering the cutting with a plastic bag or dome to retain moisture. Roots typically develop within four to eight weeks, after which the new rose plantlet can be gradually acclimatized to less humid conditions before being planted in the garden.
