Planting & Care

Where to Plant

  • Sunlight: Provide at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily to ensure strong stems and maximum fragrance production. While it tolerates very light afternoon shade in blistering climates, too much shade results in fewer petals and increased risk of powdery mildew.
  • Soil: Aim for rich, loamy soil that holds moisture but breathes well. 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

For the first growing season, provide 1 to 2 inches of water per week to help the deep taproot settle into its new home. Once mature, this rose is relatively resilient, but consistent deep soakings at the base of the plant prevent the flower heads from drooping or losing their intense scent. Avoid overhead watering to keep the foliage dry and prevent black spot from moving in.

Pruning Tips

This rose blooms on new wood, so the best time for a major prune is in early spring just as the leaf buds begin to swell. Use sharp bypass pruners to cut stems back by about one third, always making your cut at a 45 degree angle just above an outward facing bud. This "haircut" clears out old growth and encourages the plant to push out the fresh, vigorous stems that carry the season's heaviest blooms.

Fertilizer Needs

Apply a balanced rose food or a slow release granular fertilizer in early spring and again after the first flush of flowers fades. Avoid using high nitrogen fertilizers late in the summer, as this triggers soft, leafy growth that won't have time to harden off before the first frost. This tender growth acts like an invitation for winter kill and pest damage during the dormant months.

#ProPlantTips for Care:

Hybrid Tea Roses need full sun with at least six hours of sunlight to produce those incredible blooms in an area with good air circulation. At planting time, add symbiotic Nature Hills Root Booster formula in the planting hole to give a life-long benefit for your lovely Rose. Give them well-drained soil that's enriched because their roots don't tolerate standing water. Give supplemental water on a regular basis, especially with container-grown plants. Apply high-quality Rose fertilizer according to the label directions.

Growing Hybrid Tea Roses in zones colder than zone 7 should be mounded with 8-12 inches of mulch in late fall after the frost killed the leaves for best overwintering. Prune in early spring down to eight inches, and fertilize at that time per the directions. Want more info about pruning Roses, about winterizing Roses, and un-wintering Roses in spring?
