Planting & Care
Plant your rose within four weeks of arrival in a sunny location with well-draining soil. Dig a hole twice the width of the root ball, backfill with native soil and compost, and water thoroughly. Apply a 3-foot mulch layer around the base to retain moisture and regulate soil temperature. Water regularly during the first season to establish strong roots; once mature, water deeply once weekly during dry periods. In early spring, prune away dead wood and shape the plant to open the center for better air circulation, removing up to one-third of the growth if needed. Apply a slow-release rose fertilizer in spring and again in early summer following package directions.
