Common Sweet Briar Care

This rose prefers regular watering, with the soil constantly kept moist but not soggy. Allow the soil to dry out slightly between watering to prevent overwatering, which can lead to root rot.

Pruning is not necessary for this rose, but if you prefer a neat and tidy look, you can prune it in late winter or early spring. This will help maintain its shape and promote healthy growth.

To keep these plants happy and healthy, it's best to fertilize them in the spring and summer months with a balanced fertilizer. This will provide the nutrients it needs to grow and bloom to its fullest potential.

When it comes to sunlight, the flower loves the sun! Plant it in an area that receives full sun for at least 6 hours a day to ensure it gets the light it needs to thrive and bloom beautifully.

The flower thrives in well-drained, slightly acidic soil with a pH of 6.5-7.5.

If you want more Rosa rubiginosa, you can propagate them through stem cuttings or layering. It's a fun and rewarding way to expand your rose collection!

Common Sweet Briar prefers temperatures between 65-75°F (18-23°C). Protect it from cold winter temperatures, as it's not a fan of frost. Make sure it's kept cozy during the colder months to ensure its well-being.

If you're tight on space or prefer container gardening, you're in luck! It can be grown in pots, but make sure the pot is large enough to accommodate its root system. Be prepared to repot every couple of years to give it enough room to grow and thrive.

The scent of Common Sweet Briar's rose petals is even sweeter than other roses. In fact, this plant has been used for centuries to make perfumes and rose water, thanks to its delightful fragrance.
