How to fertilize Baldhip Rose

Most potting soils come with ample nutrients which plants use to produce new growth.
By the time your plant has depleted the nutrients in its soil it’s likely grown enough to need a larger pot anyway.
To replenish this plant's nutrients, repot your Baldhip Rose after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

Brown leaves and not alot of buds Looks like my tea rose isn’t putting out as many buds as when I first planted her and some of her leaves are turning brown and falling off. Is she getting too much direct sunlight and maybe not enough water? It’s been miserably hot the last several days here in North Texas.

My new Yellow-Hybrid Roses are finally blooming!

I was sent these as a bday gift!!! I’ve never cared for roses before or anything with a flower. Does anyone know if it’s a house plant or if I should put them on my porch?

I don’t know what’s wrong 😢 I bought 2 roses 4 days ago and they are dying. I thought the cause was fungus and sprayed an antifungal which left them with these blue spots. Today the yellowness has increased and I find some black bugs, so I sprayed insecticide. I don’t know if it will help or do more damage. Is it normal for a plant to die so quickly?

So this is happening to my Scotch Rose. What do I do? #scotchrose

Crispy girl Hi everyone. You’re probably going to facepalm this - but our potted rose bush has suddenly gone super crispy. Every single leaf. And seems death is imminent 😞 She is in a self watering pot and occasionally I water through the soil too. She survived the winter and now that it’s warming up - I’m afraid I’ve done something wrong … any advice or info super appreciated!
Baldhip Rose prefers for the soil to dry out between waterings and should be watered regularly. Use our water calculator to personalize watering recommendations to your environment or download Greg for more advanced recommendations for all of your plants.
☀️ Sunlight Needs
Baldhip Rose requires abundant, bright and direct light. Place it less than one foot from a window to ensure it receives enough light to survive 💪. Select your region to see how the current weather in your area affects the placement in your home 🏡.
🐶 🐈 👶 Toxicity
Greg does not have confirmed data on this plant’s toxicity. If you, a family member, or a pet consumes plant material of unknown toxicity, it’s always best to consult a medical professional.
If you or someone else ingested this plant, call Poison Control at US (800) 222-1222. If a pet consumed this plant, contact your veterinarian or the ASPCA at US (888) 426-4435.
💨 Humidity
Baldhip Rose doesn’t require additional humidity. Plants absorb most water through their root system rather than their leaves, so the best way to provide humidity for your plants is through watering the soil.
🪴 Soil
Baldhip Rose does best in well-draining soil. A good soil will contain lots of organic matter such as coco coir as well as perlite or vermiculite to help with drainage. Adding a handful of perlite to regular store-bought potting soil should do the trick!
💩 Fertilizer
Baldhip Rose should be repotted after it doubles in size or once a year, whichever comes first. Fresh potting soil has all the nutrients your plant needs, so as long as it’s refreshed yearly, you shouldn’t need to use fertilizer. Remember, plants get their energy from sunlight, not fertilizer!
🌎 Native Region
Baldhip Rose is native to Asia, Europe, North America, and northwestern Africa.
⬆️ ⬇️ Growth Pattern
Baldhip Rose will branch off as it grows. To encourage branching, pinch off the newest growth at the tip and the stem will branch off into two.
🧐 Troubleshooting
When troubleshooting a sad-looking houseplant, start by checking for signs of distress in its leaves, such as yellowing, browning, or drooping, which can indicate overwatering or nutrient deficiencies.
Inspect the soil moisture; too dry or too wet soil can cause problems.
Ensure the plant is getting the right amount of light, as too much or too little can stress it.
Finally, consider environmental factors like temperature and humidity, and adjust care routines accordingly to revive your plant.
