Planting & Care

Select a sunny location with well-draining soil and plant in a hole twice as wide as the root ball. Water immediately after planting and apply 3 inches of mulch to suppress weeds and retain moisture. Water weekly or when the top 3 inches of soil feel dry. Feed with a liquid rose fertilizer once each in spring and summer according to package directions. Minimal pruning is needed beyond occasional shaping to maintain the plant's natural form.
