Place your Sunblaze® Watermelon Tree Rose in a sunny spot, to maximize blooming, and plant it in rich, well-drained and moist soil. Water during summer is needed to keep those blooms coming. Roses enjoy lots of compost and organic material in the soil, so add it when preparing the planting spot. When growing in a pot add 1 part of garden soil to 3 parts of potting soil to make a richer mixture. Feed potted trees regularly with liquid rose fertilizer, and use compost as a mulch and fertilizer when growing in the garden, or use a granular rose food. Prune your plant in spring, removing thin, twiggy growth and leaving a short framework of sturdy branches to re-sprout.
