Champagne Moment, another David Austin double tea rose of ours. Great performer once settled, relatively smaller form. Great for front yards!

Champagne Moment flowers abundantly, even in restricted spaces.

ROSE TIPS: 

The key with all double roses is to keep deadheading them, and more and more flowers will be produced throughout the season. If you leave flowerheads on, they will slow production. A lot of new rose owners are too scared to prune, in arfy's opinion! 😼✂️🌹

I've left the roses on for the picture, but probably half or more of these guys are going to be deadheaded... imminently!

Also, don't be afraid to cut back down a few nodes either for support. They will almost always grow a branch out from the last cut node. You want to establish a few major branches from the base, not a ton of langley-ass thin branches.

Thanks the info! Beautiful roses! I haven’t pruned my rose bush in a while and it’s looking sad so I guess this is a sign 🌹

You're very welcome, and thank you! They are stonkers for sure.

The moment they look "sad and droopy", it's a great sign to give them a prune to freshen up! Don't be afraid to cut it back to the core structure so that it grows in a tighter, sturdier form!
