I am just starting my garden and it is my first time with roses. I wanted to know how often should I water and feed my roses and how much. I have heard multiple things to this so I wanted to find out from people that have this rose. I thank you in advance for your help.

Feed your roses a good food about once a month. Water them deeply every two or three days depending on how hot it is. If the plant looks wilty..not enough water. If the buds get tannish on the edges and don't open, too much water. JFK can be particular about how much water he gets. Good luck

Bayer Advanced Garden is a superb granular fertilizer... it feeds, and also protects against insects! Apply it every 6 weeks, following the directions on container for the amount (depends on size of the rose bush). It's available at Home Depot, and many garden centers.
Additionally, I sometimes apply some water-soluble Miracle Grow... about a gallon or 2, enough to soak the soil. I do this about every 2 or 3 weeks.
John F. Kennedy is one of the most fragrant and long-lasting roses! It's even fragrant in the evening, & the blossoms last 10 days. Beautiful!!

JFK is the only white hybrid tea that survived my 'no winter protection years' (1993 - 1998). He is still our favorite, most dependable white HT.

How common is a tangerine colored JFK? The first year mine was white, the second one cane was tangerine, now the whole bloody rose is.
Thanx.

Sounds to me like you had a sucker from the roots and now it's taken over the entire bush. Hybrid tea roses are rose plants that are grafted onto roots from a hardier plant. Any "suckers" or growths coming up from the base of the plant that have distinctly different foliage from the plant you bought should be cut away, since they are canes growing from the roots which are actually the roots of a different plant. Make sense? If you don't cut away the suckers, they will eventually take over the whole plant, effectively killing off your original hybrid tea plant.

wrong wrong wrong. Please reread the question. All J & P roses are either own root or use Dr. Huey. Dr. Huey is Burgandy/Red, not tangerine. This is something else, which I am beginning to believe is RMV.
