Planting & Care

Where to Plant

  • Sunlight: This rose needs at least six to eight hours of direct sun daily to maintain its brilliant golden color and high petal count. While it can handle very light afternoon shade, less sun usually leads to weaker stems and fewer flower clusters.
  • Soil: Aim for rich, well drained soil that holds moisture without becoming a swamp. If you have heavy clay, mix in organic compost or aged manure to improve drainage and prevent root rot.

Watering Requirements

During the first growing season, provide about one inch of water per week to help the root system settle into its new home. Once established, this rose is relatively resilient, but consistent deep watering at the base of the plant is necessary to prevent the blooms from wilting or drying out prematurely. Avoid overhead watering to keep the foliage dry and minimize the risk of fungal issues like black spot.

Pruning Tips

Because Doris Day roses bloom on new wood, you should prune them in late winter or very early spring just as the buds begin to swell. Cut the canes back by about one third to a half at a 45 degree angle just above an outward facing bud. This acts like a refresh for the plant, encouraging vigorous new growth and a round, bushy shape that produces the most flowers.

Fertilizer Needs

Apply a balanced rose food or a slow release granular fertilizer in early spring and again after the first flush of blooms. Avoid using high nitrogen fertilizers late in the summer because this encourages soft, tender growth that can be easily killed by the first frost. Using a fertilizer with a bit more phosphorus will help ensure those signature yellow clusters remain large and vibrant all season.

#ProPlantTips for Care:

Carefully consider where you plant your Doris Day® Rose. They do best in full sun with at least six hours of direct sunlight a day. Roses need well-drained soil that sheds water quickly after a rainfall. This is important because Rose roots don't tolerate standing water. Add Nature Hills Root Booster to your planting hole for life-long support. The symbiotic ingredients never "wear out"

Dig your planting hole twice as wide as the roots, but no deeper. Only dig deep enough to match the level of the soil line.at your home and in the pot. Water with a consistent schedule for the best flowering. Keep container-grown Roses hydrated!

Apply a three-inch layer of mulch over the roots to keep them nice and cool. Then, pull it back away from directly touching the canes. Feed Doris Day® Roses specialty Rose fertilizer. Check the application rates and timing on the label.

In the fall, please bag and remove all leaf litter. Overwinter in cold zones with a mound of mulch applied in late November. Wait until early spring to prune each of the Rose canes down to 6 - 8 inches. Cut at a 45-degree angle just above a nice, fat bud and remove the winter mulch from the crown.
