Planting & Care

Plant in full sun with well-drained soil, or use a container with drainage holes. Dig a planting hole twice the width of the root ball and equally deep, then settle with water and mulch. Water consistently, checking soil moisture two to three inches deep during the growing season. Apply granular rose fertilizer in early spring as temperatures warm. Prune main branches back by one-third in late winter or early spring to maintain shape and encourage blooming.
