Planting & Care

Select a sunny location and plant in well-draining, fertile soil, spacing multiple plants about 3 feet apart. Dig a hole twice the width and depth of the root ball, position the rose at its original planting depth, and add mulch to conserve moisture. Water deeply and regularly, especially during establishment, applying water at soil level rather than overhead. Feed monthly with organic rose fertilizer and deadhead spent blooms to encourage continuous flowering. In late winter or early spring, use sterilized pruning shears to remove dead wood and shape the plant for fuller growth.
