watering
Hybrid rugosa rose (Rosa 'Blanc Double de Coubert') should be watered on a regular basis, but it does not require a lot of water. Allow the soil around the plant to dry out between waterings. It is best to water the plant deeply every 3-7 days during summer when it is actively growing. During the fall and winter the frequency of watering will decrease to every 7-14 days. It is important to avoid over-watering since it can damage the plant.
sunlight
Hybrid rugosa rose (Rosa 'Blanc Double de Coubert') should receive at least 6 hours of direct sunlight each day, preferably in the morning and/or late afternoon. This species also enjoys a bit of dappled afternoon sun, but avoid full sun exposure during the hottest, midday hours. To promote the best growth, it is ideal to provide the hybrid rugosa rose with 6-8 hours of filtered sunlight a day.
pruning
Hybrid rugosa roses should be pruned in the late winter or early spring season when the plant is still dormant. Pruning should consist of 2-3 stages. Initially, any dead or broken stems should be removed. Next, all stems should then be cut back by half of their length, and any branches that are growing in an awkward direction or any weak growth should be removed. Finally, remove any remaining congested or diseased stems. When pruning, make sure to remove any dead leaves and debris to allow for better air circulation, which can prevent the spread of disease.
