🌿 Growing Tips for Toowoomba Gardeners:
Plant 'Firecracker' in a full sun position with well-draining soil and good airflow.

Mulch well to retain soil moisture and suppress weeds.
Prune lightly in late winter to encourage vigorous new growth and maintain shape. This rose is suited to the Toowoomba Range, Highfields, and surrounding Darling Downs areas where cooler nights enhance flower colour intensity.
