Planting & Care

Select a location receiving at least 6–8 hours of direct sun and prepare soil enriched with organic matter. Dig a hole wider than the root ball, gently loosen the roots, and position the plant so its crown sits slightly above soil level; backfill and water thoroughly, then apply mulch to conserve moisture. Water regularly during establishment, checking for morning wilting as your cue; once established, water deeply but less often to build resilience. Feed with rose-specific fertilizer in early spring and continue with light applications through summer, stopping in late August so growth can harden before winter. Prune 3–4 weeks before your last frost date, removing one-third to two-thirds of the plant's growth, and deadhead spent flowers throughout the season to encourage continuous blooming and maintain an attractive shape.
