Planting & Care

Where to Plant

  • Sunlight: Provide at least 6 to 8 hours of direct sun daily. While it handles light afternoon shade in hot climates, full sun is vital for the deepest lavender-purple petal color and maximum bloom production.
  • Soil: This rose thrives in rich, well-drained soil with a loose texture similar to a wrung-out sponge. If you have heavy clay, mix in organic compost to improve drainage, or plant in a raised mound to keep the roots from sitting in stagnant water.

Watering Requirements

During the first growing season, water twice a week to ensure the root system anchors deeply into the soil. Once established, this rose is moderately drought-tolerant, but you should provide an inch of water weekly at the base of the plant to prevent the "balling" of buds or scorched leaf edges. Inconsistent moisture often leads to smaller flowers and increased susceptibility to powdery mildew.

Pruning Tips

Fragrant Plum blooms on new wood, so 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: remove dead wood and thin out the center of the bush to allow air to flow through the canes. This prevents fungal issues and encourages the plant to push out the vigorous new growth that carries those signature long-stemmed roses.

Fertilizer Needs

Apply a balanced rose food or a slow-release granular fertilizer once in early spring and again after the first flush of blooms. Avoid high-nitrogen fertilizers after mid-August, as this encourages soft new growth that can be easily damaged by the first frost of winter. Using a formula with a bit of bone meal will help strengthen the stems and intensify the fragrance.

#ProPlantTips for Care:

Grandiflora Roses are easy to grow in full sun with at least six hours of sunlight. They do need well-drained soil, so create a raised bed or planting mound if your soil stays soggy after rainfall. Ensuring the soil is enriched and well-drained to enjoy the best performance and good air circulation is important. If you have heavy, wet soil, simply add additional soil to create an elevated planting mound.

Provide consistent supplemental water during flowering, and mulch around the plant without letting it touch the stems. Feed them high-quality Rose fertilizer as directed on the label. In autumn, rake, and bag up fallen leaf litter as yard waste. Roses appreciate a 3-4 inch layer of arborist mulch year-round. Growing Grandiflora Roses in zones colder than zone 7 should be mounded with 8-12 inches of mulch in late fall for best overwintering.

Don't forget the Nature Hills Root Booster, to give this fragrant Rose life-long support when used during planting. In early spring, start fresh by pruning all the canes down to six inches in early spring, cutting at a 45-degree angle above a nice, fat bud.

Rose Bush FAQs

Where Is The Best Place To Plant Rose Bushes?

Rose bushes need a protected location, prefer full sun, and favor the drying power of the morning sun, needing 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.

Do Roses Come Back Every Year?

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