Planting is done in April and May, after soaking the roots in water. It is necessary to maintain a distance of about 0.3 m between seedlings. During planting, it is not recommended to add fertilizers, especially manure.

Caring for a rose consists of regular watering and pruning. You need to cut the plant in the fall, and also remove dry flowers during flowering.

After the autumn pruning, the bush is treated with an antifungal drug. They cover the plant only when the temperature outside is kept at around -5 C °. Despite the fact that the variety is winter-hardy, it must be wrapped up in Central Russia.

Shelter for the winter is carried out in dry weather. The stems are cleaned of foliage and flowers, bent to the ground and fixed. Then they cover with material that will not let snow or rain pass.
