How to Grow a Louise Odier Rose

Plant the Louise Odier rose in an area that receives full to partial sun during the day. The Louise Odier rose can tolerate some shade, but full sun produces more stunning blooms. If you want the rose to grow as a vine, plant it near a trellis or wall that it can climb. Otherwise, it grows as a bush.

Use mulch around the rose plant, and plant it in slightly acid soil that drains well.

Water the rose plant regularly when the soil begins to dry out. The Louise Odier can grow in a partially dry climate as well, and it only requires average water intake.

Prune the plants in the winter. Remove any dead or dying wood and leaves, and prune back the length of the vine by one-third its original size.

Watch the plant for signs of pests or disease. Roses can be vulnerable to fungal diseases, according to Learn2Grow.com. The Love of Roses web site also notes that "powdery mildew can also be an issue in some more wet or damp climates."
