Planting & Care

Where to Plant

Sunlight: This rose performs best with at least 6 to 8 hours of direct sun daily. While it can tolerate very light afternoon shade, full sun ensures the strongest stems and the most vibrant silver lavender color in the blooms.
Soil: Provide rich, well drained soil that feels like a wrung out sponge. If you have heavy clay, mix in organic compost to improve drainage, as roses dislike "wet feet" which can lead to root rot.

Watering Requirements

During the first growing season, water your Stainless Steel Rose deeply twice a week to help the roots dive deep into the soil. Once the plant is mature and established, it can handle brief dry spells, but inconsistent moisture often results in smaller flowers or scorched leaf edges. Aim for 1 inch of water per week delivered at the base of the plant to keep the foliage dry and prevent mildew.

Pruning Tips

Since this hybrid tea blooms on new wood, you should prune in late winter or early spring just as the leaf buds begin to swell. Think of this like a structural tune up where you remove dead wood and thin out the center to improve air circulation. Cutting back the stems by about one third at a 45 degree angle encourages a flush of vigorous new growth and much larger individual blossoms.

Fertilizer Needs

Apply a balanced rose fertilizer or a slow release granular formula starting in early spring when new growth appears. Repeat this process after each flush of blooms to give the plant the energy it needs to produce the next round of flowers. Avoid high nitrogen fertilizers late in the summer because they stimulate soft, tender growth that can be easily killed by the first frost of winter.

#ProPlantTips for Care:

Hybrid Tea Roses need full sun and good air circulation to do their best! Provide a location with the morning sun to dry their leaves and only water at the root zone. Plant in enriched, highly organic, and fertile soil that is well-drained - never soggy. Water regularly, especially throughout the hot summer months. Learn about winterizing, and un-wintering your Roses in our Garden Blog, plus all the tips and tricks you need when pruning your new prized Rose bush! Growing Hybrid Tea Roses in zones colder than zone 7 should be mounded with 8-12 inches of mulch in late fall after the frost killed the leaves for best overwintering.
