Planting & Care

Where to Plant

  • Sunlight: Full sun is essential for Double Delight, requiring at least six to eight hours of direct sunlight daily. While it can tolerate very light afternoon shade, less sun often leads to weaker stems and a significant loss of the iconic red-pigmented edges on the cream petals.
  • Soil: This rose thrives in rich, well-drained soil with a slightly acidic pH. If you have heavy clay, mix in organic compost or peat moss to improve drainage, as "wet feet" will quickly lead to root rot and poor vigor.

Watering Requirements

During the first growing season, provide one inch of water per week to help the root system settle into its new home. Once established, this rose has moderate drought tolerance, but inconsistent watering will result in smaller blooms and brittle foliage. Always water at the base of the plant rather than overhead to keep the leaves dry and prevent fungal issues like black spot.

Pruning Tips

Double Delight blooms on new wood, so you should perform your main pruning in late winter or early spring just as the buds begin to swell. Think of this like a structural reset; remove dead or crossing canes and cut the remaining healthy stems back to about 12 to 18 inches at a 45 degree angle. This encourages vigorous new growth and ensures the plant has plenty of airflow to stay healthy throughout the summer.

Fertilizer Needs

Apply a balanced rose fertilizer or a slow release 10-10-10 formula in early spring and again after the first major flush of blooms. Avoid high nitrogen fertilizers late in the summer, specifically after August, because this promotes tender new growth that will be easily killed by the first frost. Using a fertilizer with micronutrients like magnesium will help keep the foliage a deep, healthy green.

Roses require a consistent schedule of supplemental moisture and a 3-4 inch thick layer of arborist mulch Growing Hybrid Tea Roses in zones colder than zone 7 should be mounded with 8-12 inches of mulch in late fall for best overwintering.

Rose Bush FAQs

Where Is The Best Place To Plant Rose Bushes?

Rose bushes prefer full sun and favor the drying power of the morning sun and flower best in at least 6 hours of direct sunlight a day. Choose a location in good, enriched soil that drains well and has good air circulation.

What Is The Best Month to Plant Roses?

You can plant Roses any time if you are able to provide enough consistent moisture and attention. While there is not a specific month that is best, generally because it changes with temperatures, climate and growing zone. However, the easiest times of the year to get Rose bushes established in your landscape are in spring after the last frost date, and in fall about 4-6 weeks before the first frost.

Rose bushes are deciduous woody perennial shrubs and will return bigger and better each year.
