Why Gardeners Love Carey Rose
🌸 Variety Name: Carey Rose (Keira)
✔️ Abundant Blooms: A true “flower queen,” exploding with blossoms each spring until the leaves are barely visible.
✔️ Elegant Form: Upright, goblet-shaped blooms that never droop, exuding pure sophistication.
✔️ Delightful Fragrance: A light lychee-like aroma lingers on the breeze and clings to your clothes.
✔️ Magical Color Gradient: Outer petals blush pink, blending into creamy white at the heart.
Essential Carey Rose Care Tips
💡 Want your Carey Rose to perform like a showstopper? Follow these proven steps:
-
Sunlight: Place it in a south-facing spot with 6+ hours of full sun daily for perfectly shaped flowers.
-
Fertilization: Feed weekly with a rose-specific fertilizer (e.g., Flower Power No. 1 or Miracle-Gro for Roses) to support repeat blooming.
-
Rain Protection: Keep buds dry — heavy rain during flowering can cause rot (learned the hard way!).
-
Pruning & Shaping: After flowering, cut away faded blooms and keep outward-facing strong shoots for a fuller, balanced shape.
Pro Grower’s Notes
👀 Pay Attention To:
-
If your plant arrives with flower buds from an online purchase, cut them all off and focus on root growth first (be patient!).
-
Watch out for spider mites on the underside of leaves — a strong water spray works best for prevention.
-
For soil, use this proven mix: coarse coconut husk + peat moss + perlite (3:3:1) for healthy root development.
