Lenzrosen prefer dry rather than damp. Waterlogged spring does not tolerate waterlogging at all. Watering is not necessary as the soil is usually wet enough during spring flowering.
Most Lenzrosen retire over the summer. Even if individual leaves are withered on the ground, the perennials must not be watered.
How are lenten roses fertilized properly?
If you have improved the soil with compost before planting, the linden rose needs no further fertilizer. It is recommended to mulch it well in the fall. This leaves the soil sufficiently moist. Weeds are kept away and the rotting material releases new nutrients.

Which diseases and pests can occur?
Aphids occur more frequently. They can be rinsed off with a jet of water. Even a treatment with detergent solution is helpful.
Less common is a viral disease called "Black Death". The leaves and flowers along the veins turn black. Involved Lenten roses can not be rescued and must be disposed of with household waste - do not throw on the compost!
Are lenten roses hardy?
As a plant that shows the first flowers in February, the Lenzrose is absolutely hardy. She needs no winter protection. A mulch cover is still useful, as the perennial then rather expels.
Dense snowpacks can be a problem for very young plants. They should therefore be provided with a light protection. This also applies to seedlings that are preferred in pots.
Tips
The roots of the Lenz rose are very sensitive. In addition to the main root, which is deeply buried in the earth, the shrub forms a dense network of roots below the surface. When weeding, make sure that you hack the earth, if at all, only superficially.
