Planting & Care

Select a sunny location with well-draining soil and dig a hole twice as wide as the root ball. Position the plant so the crown sits slightly above soil level, then backfill and water thoroughly. Apply mulch to conserve moisture and stabilize soil temperature. Water deeply during the establishment phase, then switch to weekly watering once roots develop. Feed with a balanced rose fertilizer in early spring and again after each major flush of blooms. Deadhead spent flowers regularly and prune in early spring to remove dead wood and maintain a neat shape.
