🌞 Growing Conditions

To achieve the best colour and fragrance, plant the Rose Ester Geldenhuis Hybrid Tea in full sun. It thrives in well‑drained, compost‑rich soil and benefits from deep, consistent watering. However, avoid waterlogging, since healthy roots depend on proper drainage. After each flush, prune lightly to encourage fresh growth and more blooms. Additionally, feeding with a balanced rose fertilizer every 6–8 weeks helps maintain strong stems and vibrant flowers. Mulching around the base helps retain moisture and suppress weeds, keeping the plant healthy and productive throughout the season.
