Plant Care
Will this plant thrive in your climate?
Make sure you live within USDA Zones 4-9 by checking our Grow Zone Guide.
Select a site with well-drained soil and full sun for maximum blooming. Dig a hole twice as wide as the root ball but no deeper. If the roots are tightly bound, gently loosen them before placing the plant in the hole. Backfill with native soil, firming gently to remove air pockets, and water thoroughly immediately after planting.
This rose is "self-cleaning," meaning it does not require deadheading to keep blooming. However, annual pruning is recommended in early spring just as new growth begins. Remove about one-third of the total height and width to maintain a neat shape and encourage vigorous new flowering wood. Remove any dead or damaged branches at the base.
Apply a granular rose fertilizer in early spring when new growth appears. For best results, a second application can be made in mid-summer to provide a boost for late-season blooms. Always follow the manufacturer's instructions on the package and water the soil after applying fertilizer.
In colder zones, apply a 2-3 inch layer of wood mulch around the base of the plant in late fall to insulate the roots. Ensure the plant is well-watered going into the first freeze. For container-grown plants in Zones 3-5, consider moving the pot to a protected, unheated area like a garage to prevent the root ball from freezing through.
