I just got this rose yesterday at a birthday party. I got 2 of them and I am really new to roses in general. I want them to last as long as posible but how? I live i Minnesota and it is March right now. The app says I should put it where it gets the most sunlight so I put it on the windowsill. Can anyone help? This is one of the roses. The other one is the same but white.
My daughter buys them for me every year and I have them in a pot in the yard out back in SW exposure and they love it out there! They say itās best to grow them outside but I can keep it blooming indoors until I get motivated to take it outside. They need 6-8 hours of sunlight every day and you have to keep the soil moist and I give it some fertilizer after I prune the old flowers and leaves off. Iām trying Schultz African Violet plus this year just 4 drops per quart/.5 liter of zero clean water š¦ lol Good luck š PS, Iām in zone 8 of SE Virginia
I 2nd DanishGramma, they like nice bright light and are thirstier than one would think. If it's still cold where you are, I'd wait till it warms up before taking them outside. But I have a friend who keeps 3 indoors, and never takes them out.

Iāve got mine in a west window with a really wide view of the sky, I water when sheās pretty much dry, and she seems to be doing okay. I only got her on Valentineās, though, and donāt usually grow roses indoors. I can grow a rose anywhere in ground, but Iām not super familiar with potted ones. Iāll be putting her in a glazed porcelain pot and sticking her outside once the weather stays above 40 at night. Last year I had one in terra cotta, had a baby at the beginning of August and neglected the rose for about a week. It very died. There was no bringing it back. Hopefully glazed porcelain will prevent it from drying out so hard so quick.
