Rosa Chavinii

Rosa chavinii has poor disease resistance and is highly prone to various leaf spot diseases. It is also susceptible to a range of insect pests, and in cases of severe infection most of its leaves will fall. The plant is rated as difficult to care for, since it needs regular watering, fertilizing before flowering, and pruning after flowering and in winter. Preventive spraying might be required, or active treatment if a disease occurs. Rosa chavinii is appropriate for someone who can invest some time and effort in plant care, though keeping it healthy and vigorous may demand additional growing experience and energy.
