2. Temperature and light control. Roses like the growth environment of warm sunshine, are relatively cold-resistant, and are suitable for growing in the warm environment of 15~25 degrees; Roses are positive plants, and the daily sunshine duration should not be less than 6 hours.

Therefore, family potted roses should be maintained in places with sufficient sunshine such as Nanyang terrace and Xiangyang south window sill.

3. How to water and fertilize roses? Roses are drought-tolerant and avoid waterlogging. Watering should be based on the principle of no watering, but it should be watered thoroughly.
