Rose Pascali Standard

• Pascali is a Hybrid Tea rose bred in Belgium, celebrated worldwide for its perfect white blooms and strong fragrance. It won the prestigious All-America Rose Selection award, cementing its reputation among rose enthusiasts.
• Features large, perfectly formed buds that open to reveal creamy white petals with subtle hints of pale yellow at the centre. The blooms are excellent for cutting and last well in vases.
• Grows as an upright, vigorous bush with glossy dark green foliage that provides excellent contrast to the pure white flowers. Known for its reliable repeat flowering from spring through autumn.
• Highly valued for its exceptional disease resistance compared to many older rose varieties. This makes it an ideal choice for organic gardeners and low-maintenance landscapes.

• Water deeply twice weekly during growing season, reducing to monthly in winter dormancy period. Always water at soil level to keep foliage dry and prevent disease.
• Plant in full sun location with morning sun essential for healthy growth and disease prevention. Requires minimum 6 hours direct sunlight daily.
• Use well-draining soil enriched with compost and aged manure, maintaining pH between 6.0-7.0. Heavy clay soils need organic matter addition for proper drainage.
• Feed monthly during growing season with rose-specific fertiliser, supplementing with Epsom salts in spring. Cease feeding 6-8 weeks before expected first frost.
• Prune in July-August, removing dead wood and opening centre for air circulation. Deadhead spent blooms regularly to encourage continuous flowering throughout season.

• Provide full sun exposure for at least 6 hours daily to encourage abundant flowering and reduce disease risk. Morning sun is particularly important for drying dew from leaves.
• Water deeply twice weekly at soil level, avoiding wetting the foliage to prevent fungal issues. Increase frequency during hot summer months and reduce in winter.
• Maintain consistent soil moisture but ensure excellent drainage to prevent root rot. Mulch around the base to retain moisture and regulate soil temperature.
• Prune in late winter to remove dead wood and shape the bush. Light pruning after each flowering flush encourages repeat blooms throughout the season.

• Aphids cluster on new growth and buds - spray with insecticidal soap or introduce beneficial insects like ladybirds. Check plants weekly during spring growth spurts.
• Black spot appears as dark patches on leaves in humid conditions - improve air circulation and water at soil level. Remove affected foliage promptly.
• Thrips cause silvery streaks on petals and leaves - use blue sticky traps and neem oil spray. More common during hot, dry weather.
• Scale insects form white or brown bumps on stems - scrape off manually or apply horticultural oil. Monitor regularly as they weaken the plant over time.
