This rose does not require pruning, but formative or rejuvenating pruning could be carried out in late March or the beginning of April. Make the cuts above the outside facing buds. In order to protect against frost, in late autumn the root system should be covered with a mound of earth, sawdust or peat. To fertilize use an organic fertilizer.
