Planting and Application:

Keep them in deep containers with good drainage to uplift the look of your balcony, patio, or deck. Plant several in a large outdoor container to showcase their charming colorway. Roses can live for many, many years with adequate hydration in a well-drained pot. Flank either side of your front door with a pair of containers. Or, use one to highlight the entrance to a planned garden path.

This is an easy choice to repeat along your porch or pool deck, out of the way of foot traffic. Gain a fun backdrop for very little work, and enjoy it year after year! Run a happy edging of Color Cocktail™ Roses along your front walkway. Give at least two feet of room from the center of the plant to the edge of the sidewalk to avoid snags.

They'll brighten up sunny areas that need a little "oomph". Take a look around your home to see where you could use a perky low hedge to bring structure and color. If you're searching for a meaningful gift, why not select Color Cocktail Rose? It makes a thoughtful way to remind someone of your love, season after season!

For the same cost as a long-stemmed bouquet...you can grow your own blooms at home. This extraordinary Rose deserves a high-profile position in your patio plantings!

#ProPlantTips for Care:

Site selection is actually the most important part of planting Roses, so plant Color Cocktail™ Rose in full sun with good air circulation. The morning sun is best to dry the leaves of dew, but Roses need at least six or more hours of direct sun. Disease-resistant, Color Cocktail™ Rose won't need much ongoing care. However, you'll want to spend time giving your Rose the best site to grow.

Shrub Roses like to have a consistent amount of hydration, but their roots can't tolerate growing in standing water. Give a moderate amount of water regularly. You'll want to mulch the root system but pull it away from directly touching the stems. 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.

Make sure you choose a site with well-drained soil. Add extra soil to create a planting mound or raised bed, if you see puddles a long time after a rain. Or, keep them in containers to improve your drainage. Use Nature Hills Root Booster when planting. This highly recommended formula contains symbiotic ingredients that support the feeder roots, and it never wears out!

Prune Color Cocktail™ Rose 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.

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, flowering 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.

Do Rose Bushes Come Back Every Year?

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