Planting & Care

Where to Plant

Sunlight: Provide at least six hours of direct, unfiltered sunlight daily for best flowering. Plants grown in less sun will produce fewer blooms and may develop weak, leggy growth.

Soil: Thrives in moist, well-drained soil enriched with organic matter. Heavy clay soils benefit from mixing in compost or aged manure at planting time to improve drainage. Avoid consistently wet or waterlogged sites as roses need good air circulation around the roots.

Watering Requirements

Water deeply twice a week during the first growing season to establish a strong root system. Once established, water at the base of the plant during dry spells, providing about one inch of water weekly during summer. Avoid overhead watering which can promote fungal diseases on foliage. Mulch around the base helps retain soil moisture and keeps roots cool.

Pruning Tips

Prune in early spring just as buds begin to swell on the stems. Cut back by at least one-third of the total height, making cuts just above outward-facing buds to encourage an open, vase-shaped form. This rose blooms on new wood, so spring pruning stimulates vigorous new growth and abundant flowering. Remove any dead, damaged, or crossing branches anytime.

Fertilizer Needs

Apply a granular rose fertilizer or balanced slow-release fertilizer in early spring when new growth emerges and again at mid-summer to fuel continuous blooming. Water thoroughly after fertilizing to help nutrients reach the roots. Avoid high-nitrogen fertilizers which promote leafy growth at the expense of flowers.

Understanding Our Container Sizes

At Nature Hills, our plants are sold in industry-standard nursery containers. You will notice we use the word "container" rather than "gallon." Container numbers follow a nursery trade size standard, not liquid volume. The number tells you the plant's size category and general maturity level. A larger container means a more established plant with a stronger root system.

Container Sizes

Quart

Plant age: 6 months to 1 year
Best for: Ground covers, perennials, ornamental grasses
What to expect: Our smallest and most affordable size. Well-suited for planting in multiples across a large area. Allow 1 to 2 seasons for full establishment.

#1 Container

Plant age: 1 to 2 years
Best for: Shrubs, perennials, smaller trees
What to expect: About the size of a large coffee can. A well-developed root system in a manageable size. Good value choice when you have time to let the plant grow into the space over a season or two.

#2 Container

Plant age: 2 to 3 years
Best for: Shrubs and trees where you want faster establishment
What to expect: A noticeable step up from a #1 in both plant size and root development. Good choice when you want visible presence without going to a larger size.

#3 Container

Plant age: 3 to 4 years
Best for: Most plants, most situations — flowering trees, shade trees, evergreen shrubs
What to expect: Our most popular size. Strong, developed root system. Plants in a #3 container make an immediate visual impact from day one. If you want a head start rather than waiting seasons for a plant to fill in, this is typically the right choice.

#5 Container and Larger

Plant age: 4 to 5+ years
Best for: Specimen plants, privacy screens, maximum instant impact
What to expect: Large, mature plants ready to make an immediate statement in your landscape. We also carry #7 and larger sizes for select varieties.

Why "Container" and Not "Gallon"?

Nursery container sizes follow an industry trade standard established for the nursery and horticulture industry. The number is a size designation, not a measurement of liquid volume. Actual soil volume varies by plant type, root mass, and growing medium. Using "container" is the accurate industry term. When you see #1, #2, or #3, think of it as the plant's size tier, not a gallon measurement.

Root Pouch Containers

Some Nature Hills plants arrive in a Root Pouch, a breathable fabric container made from 100% recycled materials. Root Pouches encourage denser root development through air pruning, which discourages root circling and promotes a stronger, more fibrous root ball at the time of planting.

There are two types. Knowing which one you have changes how you plant:

Degradable (brown or tan fabric): Plant the entire pouch directly in the ground. The fabric breaks down naturally in the soil over time.
Non-degradable (black or gray fabric): Remove the pouch before planting. Cut the bottom open with scissors, then peel the sides away. The fibrous root ball will hold its shape.

Not sure which type you have? Check the tag on your plant or contact us and we will confirm.

Reminiscent® Pink Rose (Rosa x 'BOZFRA021') brings the romance of heirloom roses into the modern garden with none of the hassle. Developed by Serbian breeders devoted to combining old-world charm with contemporary performance, this stunning shrub rose delivers the full, lush blooms and intoxicating fragrance you remember from grandmother's garden alongside disease resistance and carefree maintenance that today's gardeners demand.

A Modern Take on Classic Beauty

The flowers are what dreams are made of: substantial blooms packed with soft pink petals that gradually lighten toward the edges, creating a subtle gradient effect. Each flower opens from darker pink buds into full, cupped blooms measuring several inches across. The high petal count gives flowers that coveted full, ruffled appearance of antique roses. But unlike temperamental old varieties, Reminiscent® Pink blooms reliably from late spring straight through early fall without any deadheading required, though you'll be tempted to cut armloads for indoor arrangements.

The fragrance alone makes this rose worth growing. Step into the garden on a warm summer morning and you're greeted by waves of sweet, powerful perfume that carries on the breeze. This is the kind of authentic rose scent that stops you in your tracks and draws you closer. Position this rose near patios, along walkways, or under windows where you can fully appreciate the aroma throughout the season.

Garden Performance That Delivers

This compact shrub rose matures at a manageable 3 to 4 feet tall and about 2 feet wide, making it incredibly versatile in the landscape. The naturally rounded, bushy form works beautifully in mixed borders paired with perennials like catmint, salvia, or lavender. Plant several in a row to create a fragrant low hedge along property lines or garden beds. The compact size also makes Reminiscent® Pink an excellent choice for large containers on patios or flanking entryways.

Dark green foliage provides a clean backdrop for the pink blooms and maintains good health throughout the season thanks to superior disease resistance bred into this series. While no rose is completely immune to problems, Reminiscent® Pink shows strong resistance to common rose ailments like black spot, powdery mildew, and rust that plague many traditional varieties. This means less spraying, less fussing, and more time enjoying the flowers.

Easy Care for Real Gardeners

The Reminiscent® series was specifically developed to give gardeners the roses they want without the work they don't. This variety tolerates summer heat better than many roses, continuing to bloom even during hot spells that would cause other varieties to sulk. Once established, it shows good drought tolerance, though consistent moisture produces the most abundant flowering.

Winter hardiness from zones 4 through 9 means gardeners across most of the country can grow this beauty successfully. In colder zones, the plant dies back to the ground in winter and returns with vigorous new growth each spring. In warmer regions, it may retain some foliage through mild winters and bloom nearly year-round.
