Baby

Here I am! Your own baby rose. I hope you will take good care of me. Put me somewhere indoors with lots of light and give me a little water every other day. 

After 2 weeks

After 2 weeks of pampering, it is time for a larger pot! Preferably a pot of 2 litres or more with holes for drainage underneath (so I don’t drown). 

Outside

You can put me outside now but wait a little longer in the case of frost. Let me get used to the bright sun for a week in partial shade. Do you want me to get more branches soon? Prune my offshoots just above a leaf! 

Teenager

What you nurture will grow. I do my very best. Once I am twice the height of my pot, it is time for a larger home. 

Fertilizer & temperature

In summer, I thrive outside in a sunny spot or partial shade. I get a little peckish when I develop new leaves and will be very grateful for a little extra plant food! 

​

When the temperature drops to -15°C I like to be in a cool spot indoors. 

Nature

When I’m about 50 centimetres tall, you can choose. You can hold me close in a pot and keep me as big (or small) as you want. 

​

Or…. will you let me grow freely in nature? If you give me a place with a lot of climbing or hanging space, I can grow up to 4 meters long.
