Planting & Care

Where to Plant

Sunlight: For the most intense lavender color and heavy flower production, provide at least 6 to 8 hours of direct sunlight daily. While she can handle some afternoon shade in very hot climates, too much shade often leads to leggy growth and increased risk of powdery mildew.
Soil: These roses thrive in rich, well-drained soil that feels like a wrung-out sponge. If you have heavy clay, mix in organic compost or aged manure to improve drainage, or plant in a slight mound to keep the roots from sitting in stagnant water.

Watering Requirements

During the first growing season, water deeply two to three times a week to help the root system dive deep into the soil. Once established, this rose is relatively resilient, but consistent moisture is the secret to those large, showy blooms. Inconsistent watering often leads to smaller flowers and can cause the plant to drop its lower leaves as a stress response.

Pruning Tips

This rose blooms on new wood, so you should prune in late winter or early spring just as the buds begin to swell. Think of it like a refreshing haircut: remove any dead or crossing canes and cut the remaining healthy stems back to about 12 to 18 inches above the ground. This aggressive pruning encourages vigorous new growth and ensures the plant directs its energy into producing the highest quality flowers.

Fertilizer Needs

Apply a balanced rose food or a slow-release granular fertilizer once in early spring and again after the first major flush of blooms. Avoid high-nitrogen fertilizers late in the summer or early fall because this stimulates soft, tender growth that will easily freeze when the first frost hits. A final feeding in mid-summer gives the plant enough energy to finish the season strong without risking winter damage.

#ProPlantTips for Care:

Site selection is important, so choose an area in full sun, well-drained soil, and good air circulation. Keep the area tidy with mulch; bag and remove all leaf litter promptly. Roses perform at their peak with a regular schedule of water. It's best to use soaker hoses or drip irrigation, rather than overhead watering.

Read our Planting Guide for expert advice for installing this gorgeous Hybrid Tea Rose bush. Always add Nature Hills Root Booster to your order for use during planting, and as a top dressing for mature plants.

You'll want to mulch the root system but pull it away from directly touching the stems. 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. Roses are hungry and need a good slow-release fertilizer in early spring and mid-summer. Use a formula for flowering plants for the best results.

Prune Roses down to six inches in early spring. The blooms occur each year on new growth from the base of the plant. Be sure to rake up all the fallen leaf litter in late fall. Bag and dispose of Rose leaves for good hygiene. The more flowers you cut, the more you encourage repeat flushes of blooms. Why not take cut flowers to schools, nursing homes, and hospitals to say "thank you" to our hard-working helpers?

Barbra's Rose

The rose arrived in a sturdy box fully alive! It is now still in original container and will be planted in the ground in early spring. I did not want to risk exposing it to winter weather. It is doing very well on our deck!

Hi there, Thank you for your lovely review of our Barbra Streisand Hybrid Tea Rose; great choice! In your typically mild climate, it’s generally safe (and often beneficial) to plant now if the site drains well: choose a sunny spot with 6+ hours of light, set the plant at the same depth as the container, water deeply, and mulch 2–3'. If you’d rather wait until early spring, keep the rose outdoors in its pot in a sheltered spot out of strong wind, insulate the container with burlap or a second pot packed with leaves, check moisture every couple of weeks to keep the soil lightly moist (not soggy). Either approach will set it up for healthy spring growth and fragrant blooms. Thank you - Nature Hills Customer Support
