Hot Paprika Rose is exceptionally easy to grow in a moist but well-drained soil of average fertility in full sun to part shade. As with all other roses, the Hot Paprika requires morning sun to dry the morning dew from their leaves, which prevents powdery mildew from forming. Some afternoon shade or filtered sun is fine. We suggest 6 hours of direct sunlight per day for best flowering. No pruning is required however the plants responds well to it. Deadheading spent flowers will encourage quicker and heavier rebloom throughout the seasons. The bush can be cut back to 4 to 6 inches above the ground before new growth begins to emerge in late winter or very early spring. Plants will then quickly flush out new growth and start blooming with the arrival of spring temperatures.
