#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.
