Planting & Care

Where to Plant

Sunlight: This rose requires at least 6 hours of direct sun daily to maintain its rich gold and apricot hues. While it can handle light afternoon shade, less sun will result in fewer blooms and a higher risk of powdery mildew.
Soil: Aim for well drained soil that feels like a wrung out sponge. If you have heavy clay, mix in organic compost or plant in a slight 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 ensure the roots knit into your local soil. Once established, this rose is quite resilient, but inconsistent watering during summer dry spells will lead to smaller flowers and premature leaf drop. Focus your water at the base of the plant to keep the foliage dry and prevent fungal issues.

Pruning Tips

Since Strike It Rich® blooms on new wood, you should prune in late winter or early spring just as the leaf buds begin to swell. Think of it like a seasonal haircut: remove any dead or crossing canes and cut the remaining healthy stems back by about one third to an outward facing bud. This encourages vigorous new growth and opens up the center of the bush for better airflow.

Fertilizer Needs

Apply a balanced rose food or a slow release granular fertilizer in early spring and again after the first major flush of blooms. Avoid high nitrogen fertilizers after August because this triggers soft, tender growth that won't have time to harden off before the first frost. Using too much nitrogen late in the year makes the plant vulnerable to winter kill.

#ProPlantTips for Care:

This Rose was an AARS 2007 award winner! Hardy and disease resistant, cold, and heat tolerant, plant this Grandiflora in full sun for the most blooms, favoring the morning sun and in a location with good air circulation. Provide enriched, fertile, and well-drained soil with moderate, yet consistent moisture for the best results!

A generous layer of mulch is fantastic for keeping moisture in the soil level, so you water less! As well as insulating the root ball from heat and chill. Fertilize your Rose 2 - 3 times a year with Rose food and deadhead to keep the blooms popping! Prune in early spring, otherwise, this is a very low-maintenance shrub!

Frequently Asked Questions

What USDA hardiness zones can Strike It Rich® Grandiflora Rose grow in?

Strike It Rich® Grandiflora Rose thrives in USDA hardiness zones 5 to 10. This variety shows remarkable heat and cold tolerance across this wide range. Plant in full sun for best performance and blooming.

How tall and wide will this rose get when fully mature?

Strike It Rich® Grandiflora Rose reaches 5-7 feet tall and 2-3 feet wide at maturity, creating a narrow, columnar form. This upright growth habit makes it perfect for tight spaces, foundation plantings, or privacy screening. Available at naturehills.com for zones 5-10.

What type of soil does this grandiflora rose prefer?

Strike It Rich® thrives in well-draining, fertile soil with a pH between 6.0-7.0. Like most grandiflora roses, it performs best in loamy soil enriched with organic matter. Ensure good drainage to prevent root rot, especially in zones 5-10 where this variety is hardy.

How often should I water Strike It Rich® roses after planting?

Water newly planted Strike It Rich® roses deeply 2-3 times per week for the first month. Once established, they're quite heat-tolerant in zones 5-10 and need less frequent watering. Check soil moisture 2 inches down and water when dry.

Is this rose variety considered fast-growing or slow-growing?

Strike It Rich® Grandiflora Rose is a vigorous, fast-growing variety that quickly reaches 5-7 feet tall in zones 5-10. Its upright growth habit and repeat blooming make it excellent for creating quick privacy screens or focal points. Shop at Nature Hills for this productive rose that delivers abundant blooms throughout the growing season.

Are Strike It Rich® roses deer resistant?

Strike It Rich® roses are not deer resistant, as most roses are considered deer candy due to their tender foliage and blooms. The thorny stems provide minimal deterrent to hungry deer. Consider companion planting with deer-repelling perennials or installing physical barriers around your rose garden.

What plants pair well with Strike It Rich® Grandiflora Rose in the garden?

Strike It Rich® pairs beautifully with purple perennials like lavender or salvia that complement its golden blooms. At 5-7 feet tall, it works well as a backdrop for shorter companions. Plant lower-growing perennials in front to showcase the rose's columnar form and create layered interest.

How much fertilizer does this rose need and how often?

Feed your Strike It Rich® rose monthly during growing season with a balanced rose fertilizer. This vigorous grower benefits from regular feeding to support its 5-7 foot height and continuous blooming through autumn. Stop fertilizing 6-8 weeks before your first expected frost.

Does this variety need regular pruning and when should I prune it?

Grandiflora roses benefit from annual pruning in late winter or early spring before new growth begins. Remove dead, diseased, or weak canes, and cut back remaining canes by about one-third. Light deadheading during the growing season encourages repeat blooming through autumn.
