Augusta Louise Rose

The Rosa 'Augusta Luise', also known as the Tangust Rose, Fox-Trot Rose, Haley Westerna, or Rachel Rose, is a beautiful hybrid tea rose bush prized for its fragrant, double flowers in shades of peachy-pink and apricot.

Plant Care Tips:

• Sunlight: Augusta Luise roses prefer at least 6 hours of direct sunlight per day. They will tolerate some partial shade, but flowering may be reduced.

• Soil: Plant your rose bush in well-draining, fertile soil. Loam is ideal.

• Watering: Water your rose bush deeply and regularly, especially during hot weather. Allow the top inch of soil to dry out between waterings.

• Fertilizing: Fertilize your rose bush in early spring with a rose-specific fertilizer. You can also fertilize again in midsummer.

• Pruning: Prune your rose bush in late winter or early spring before new growth appears. Remove dead, diseased, or damaged canes, and cut back remaining canes by about one-third.

Light Level: Full sun (6+ hours of direct sunlight)

Toxicity: Toxic to pets and humans if ingested. All parts of the rose plant, including the flowers, leaves, and stems, contain toxins that can cause nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and abdominal cramps.

Additional Tips:

• Deadhead spent flowers regularly to encourage continuous blooming throughout the summer and autumn.

• Mulch around the base of your rose bush to help retain moisture and suppress weeds.

• Watch for signs of disease or pests and treat them promptly.
