How to fertilize China 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 China Rose after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

The app has identified my plant as ChinaRose 🌹I've added a photo of how it looked 8 weeks ago. It is looking sad at the moment. The leaves are dry and breaking off. I have noticed what seems to be pests on the leaves. Any advice on how to revive her? #ChinaRose

Help #ChinaRose It’s got cuttings and trying to propagate them. I had them wrapped in paper towels and in water Sunday night and last night I put them in the pot outside. It rained today and they seem droopy. I know this plant isn’t easy to propagate but I really love roses and would REALLY love to have a potted plant outside. Any suggestions?

My China Rose is slowly deteriorating. I’ve trimmed back the dying parts but I feel like I’m doing something horribly wrong. I’ve also been giving it a small hit of all purpose plant food. Any help greatly appreciated. thanks! #ChinaRose

What is this bug? Sorry the pictures aren’t the best but what is this bug and will it harm my plant and how do I humanely remove them if they will harm them. I am in Everett Washington if that matters and the plant is outside. #GregGang #WhatIsHappening #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #help #bugs

I simply love her the minute I saw her. I love roses and always wanted to grow them. I found it at Safeway and it was the only one. I couldn’t put it down cuz I felt bad that it was all alone and most likely be thrown out or die in a home with no love. So I bought it!!! It’s a perfect Mother’s Day gift to my mom....and to me. Cuz I’ll be raising it haha
