Plant Information

Plant Care

Maintain consistent moisture levels by watering deeply when the top inch of soil feels dry. Apply a balanced rose fertilizer monthly during the growing season to promote healthy blooms and growth. Regular deadheading of spent flowers will encourage continuous blooming throughout the season. In late winter, prune back by one-third to maintain shape and promote vigorous spring growth.

Protect against common rose diseases by ensuring good air circulation and avoiding overhead watering. Apply a thick layer of mulch around the base to retain moisture and suppress weeds. During winter months in colder regions, provide additional protection by mounding soil or mulch around the base of the plant.

Planting Instructions

Plant in spring or fall in a location that receives at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily. Dig a hole twice as wide as the root ball and equally deep. Mix organic matter into the native soil before backfilling. Position the crown at or slightly above soil level, then water thoroughly to eliminate air pockets.

Space plants 2-3 feet apart to allow for proper growth and air circulation. After planting, apply a 2-3 inch layer of mulch around the base, keeping it away from the stem to prevent rot. Water deeply and regularly for the first growing season to establish a strong root system.
