Planting & Care

Where to Plant

Sunlight: This rose performs best with at least 6 to 8 hours of direct sunlight daily. While it can tolerate very light afternoon shade, full sun ensures the highest flower count and the brightest white petal color.
Soil: Plant in rich, well-drained soil that feels like a wrung-out sponge. If you have heavy clay, mix in organic compost to improve drainage, or create a small mound to keep the roots from sitting in stagnant water.

Watering Requirements

For the first growing season, provide about one inch of water per week to help the root system settle in. Once mature, this rose is quite resilient, but inconsistent watering can lead to smaller blooms and premature petal drop. Aim your hose at the base of the plant to keep the foliage dry, which prevents common leaf spotting.

Pruning Tips

Since this variety blooms on new wood, you should prune it in late winter or early spring just as the leaf buds begin to swell. Think of it like a seasonal haircut where you remove dead wood and thin out the center to let air flow through the branches. This encourages a fresh flush of vigorous stems that will carry the heavy summer flower clusters.

Fertilizer Needs

Apply a balanced, slow-release rose food in early spring and again in mid-summer to fuel the repeat blooming cycle. Avoid using high-nitrogen fertilizers after late summer because this encourages tender new growth that can be easily damaged by the first frost.

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.

#ProPlantTips for Care

Provide full sun, with a preference for morning sun. They perform at their best with at least six hours of direct sunshine a day.

Roses need to have well-drained soil that doesn't stay saturated for long. Add extra soil in a raised bed or plating mound to improve the rate of drainage after rainfall.

We recommend using time-tested Nature Hills Root Booster for Roses during planting. Symbiotic ingredients in the formula help the feeder roots access micronutrients from the soil.

Keep Roses consistently moist with supplemental water. Keep wood mulch over the roots, but please pull it back away from the stems for proper air circulation.

In spring, give these hungry flowering plants an application of organic, slow-release fertilizer. Plan to follow the application rates and reapplication schedule listed on the label.

Be sure that lawn fertilizers are kept far away from your Roses, and all your flowering plants. These are nitrogen-heavy and work to support foliage only.

Prune in early spring by simply cutting all of the canes down to about six inches tall. Cut the flowering clusters throughout the summer for cut flowers to encourage successive flushes.
