- Parts of the plant infected with mildew must be cut off, otherwise the disease can spread further. To prevent new infections, the rose can be treated with appropriate fungicides.
- If infected with star sooty mould, all diseased leaves (black spots) should be removed. If necessary, treatment with suitable fungicides is also recommended.
- To encourage the formation of new flower buds, wilted flowers should always be cut back to the next fully formed leaf.
- Roses should never be planted where roses have already been growing. If no other planting site is available, the soil should be generously replaced.

Container plants can be planted all year round, except when the soil is frozen and in summer heat (over 30°C).

- Fertilise: In the period from March to May.
