Thrives Guaranteed or We Fix It

• Compact rose variety developed for Australian growing conditions with exceptional heat and drought tolerance. Features uniquely soft, velvety petals that feel smooth to touch.
• Produces continuous blooms from spring through autumn in pink to salmon tones. Disease-resistant variety requiring minimal chemical treatments compared to traditional roses.
• Reaches mature size of 1.2-1.5 meters with dense, bushy growth habit. Perfect for borders, cottage gardens, or container growing in smaller spaces.
• Beloved by gardeners for easy-care nature and reliable flowering performance. Attracts beneficial insects while remaining relatively pest-resistant in Australian conditions.

• Water at soil level 2-3 times weekly in growing season, less in winter - check soil moisture with finger test. Avoid wetting foliage to prevent fungal diseases.
• Position in morning sun with afternoon protection in hot climates - minimum 6 hours daily sunlight. Good air circulation prevents disease issues.
• Plant in well-draining soil enriched with compost and aged manure. Mulch around base leaving space near stem to retain moisture.
• Feed monthly during spring and summer with rose fertilizer or liquid seaweed solution. Apply slow-release fertilizer in early spring.
• Prune in late winter removing dead wood and shaping bush - sterilize tools between cuts. Deadhead spent blooms to encourage new flowers.
• Maintain moderate humidity through mulching and morning watering. Avoid overhead watering in humid conditions to prevent disease.

• Plant in morning sun with afternoon shade in hot Australian climates - at least 6 hours of sunlight daily. Choose a spot with good air circulation to prevent fungal issues.
• Water deeply at soil level 2-3 times weekly during growing season, reducing in winter. Mulch around base to retain moisture and suppress weeds.
• Feed monthly during spring and summer with rose-specific fertilizer or compost. Apply Epsom salts quarterly to promote healthy foliage and flower production.
• Prune in late winter removing dead, diseased or crossing branches. Deadhead spent flowers regularly to encourage continuous blooming throughout the season.

• Aphids can cluster on new growth and buds - spray with insecticidal soap or encourage beneficial insects like ladybirds. Check plants weekly during spring growth periods.
• Black spot fungal disease appears as dark spots on leaves - ensure good air circulation and water at soil level rather than on foliage. Remove affected leaves promptly.
• Overwatering causes yellowing leaves and root rot - allow soil to dry slightly between waterings. Ensure pots have drainage holes and garden beds aren't waterlogged.
• Thrips cause silvery streaks on petals and leaves - use blue sticky traps or beneficial predatory mites. Most active during hot, dry periods.
