## Description

Fall checklist for roses: class-aware prune, feed & winterize. Private, on-device, one-time purchase.

Rose Care Companion is the pocket reference for dedicated rose growers — a private journal that knows the difference between a once-blooming rambler and a remontant floribunda, and times the right care for each.

WHY YOUR ROSES DESERVE BETTER
Every other "smart gardening" app treats roses as one generic plant. A once-blooming rambler gets the same prune-in-late-winter calendar as a remontant floribunda. A potted David Austin gets the same water schedule as a Knock Out in the ground. Generic advice gets generic results.

Rose Care Companion built rose class into its bones.

WHAT YOU GET
- Browse 30+ named cultivars across all 9 rose classes — hybrid tea, floribunda, climber, rambler, shrub, miniature, patio, English (Austin), heritage. Class, breeder, year, bloom pattern, mature size, disease resistance — all on your device, no internet required.
- Log ANY rose, not just the catalogue. Got a species rose, a heritage find, or a brand-new release that isn't listed? Add it by name and pick its class — the class drives the full care schedule, and you can record your own breeder, bloom colour, fragrance and notes. Edit everything later; changing the class rebuilds the schedule automatically.
- Per-plant journal & photos. Log blooms, prune cuts, feeding, deadheading, pest sightings — and attach a photo to any plant or journal entry, straight from your camera or library. Each plant has its own scrollable timeline, thumbnails included.
- Class-aware reminders. Pruning, feeding, deadheading, and watering reminders derive from your plant's class, your climate zone, and whether it's in a pot or in the ground.
- Pest & disease quick reference. Cultural → organic → conventional treatment ladders for blackspot, mildew, rust, botrytis, aphids, Japanese beetles, sawfly larvae, spider mites, and more. Log a sighting on a plant in one tap.
- Climate-zone aware. USDA zones 3–10 plus Köppen Cfb for NW Europe — pruning windows shift to match your spring.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
- All garden data stays on this device. SwiftData store in the app sandbox.
- No accounts, no sign-in, no cloud, no server.
- No analytics, no ads, no third-party tracking SDKs.
- Local notifications only — no push from a server.
- Export your garden as JSON anytime via the share sheet — then import it back, or wipe everything, from Settings. Your data, yours to move.
