Planting & Care

Where to Plant

Sunlight: Provide at least 6 hours of direct sun daily. While it can tolerate light afternoon shade, full sun ensures the richest crimson color and maximum flower production throughout the season.
Soil: Aim for rich, well drained soil with plenty of organic matter. If you have heavy clay, mix in some compost to improve drainage, or for sandy soil, add peat moss to help the roots hold onto moisture.

Watering Requirements

During the first year, water deeply twice a week to help the roots dive deep into the soil. Once established, this rose is remarkably drought tolerant, but inconsistent watering during heat waves can lead to smaller blooms and premature petal drop. Think of deep watering like a long soak that keeps the plant resilient against summer stress.

Pruning Tips

The Kashmir Rose blooms on new wood, so the best time to prune is in early spring just as the leaf buds begin to swell. Use sharp bypass pruners to remove dead or crossing canes to open up the center for better airflow. This "spring haircut" encourages a flush of vigorous new growth which is where your best flowers will appear.

Fertilizer Needs

Apply a balanced, slow release rose food in early spring and again in midsummer to fuel the repeat blooming cycle. Avoid high nitrogen fertilizers after August because this can stimulate soft, tender growth that will easily freeze when winter hits. Using a fertilizer with a higher middle number (phosphorus) will prioritize big, red blooms over excess leafy stems.

Understanding Our Container Sizes

At Nature Hills, our plants are sold in industry-standard nursery containers. You will notice we use the word "container" rather than "gallon." Container numbers follow a nursery trade size standard, not liquid volume. The number tells you the plant's size category and general maturity level. A larger container means a more established plant with a stronger root system.

Container Sizes

Quart

Plant age: 6 months to 1 year
Best for: Ground covers, perennials, ornamental grasses
What to expect: Our smallest and most affordable size. Well-suited for planting in multiples across a large area. Allow 1 to 2 seasons for full establishment.

#1 Container

Plant age: 1 to 2 years
Best for: Shrubs, perennials, smaller trees
What to expect: About the size of a large coffee can. A well-developed root system in a manageable size. Good value choice when you have time to let the plant grow into the space over a season or two.

#2 Container

Plant age: 2 to 3 years
Best for: Shrubs and trees where you want faster establishment
What to expect: A noticeable step up from a #1 in both plant size and root development. Good choice when you want visible presence without going to a larger size.

#3 Container

Plant age: 3 to 4 years
Best for: Most plants, most situations — flowering trees, shade trees, evergreen shrubs
What to expect: Our most popular size. Strong, developed root system. Plants in a #3 container make an immediate visual impact from day one. If you want a head start rather than waiting seasons for a plant to fill in, this is typically the right choice.

#5 Container and Larger

Plant age: 4 to 5+ years
Best for: Specimen plants, privacy screens, maximum instant impact
What to expect: Large, mature plants ready to make an immediate statement in your landscape. We also carry #7 and larger sizes for select varieties.

Why "Container" and Not "Gallon"?

Nursery container sizes follow an industry trade standard established for the nursery and horticulture industry. The number is a size designation, not a measurement of liquid volume. Actual soil volume varies by plant type, root mass, and growing medium. Using "container" is the accurate industry term. When you see #1, #2, or #3, think of it as the plant's size tier, not a gallon measurement.

Root Pouch Containers

Some Nature Hills plants arrive in a Root Pouch, a breathable fabric container made from 100% recycled materials. Root Pouches encourage denser root development through air pruning, which discourages root circling and promotes a stronger, more fibrous root ball at the time of planting.

There are two types. Knowing which one you have changes how you plant:

Degradable (brown or tan fabric): Plant the entire pouch directly in the ground. The fabric breaks down naturally in the soil over time.
Non-degradable (black or gray fabric): Remove the pouch before planting. Cut the bottom open with scissors, then peel the sides away. The fibrous root ball will hold its shape.

Not sure which type you have? Check the tag on your plant or contact us and we will confirm.

#ProPlantTips for Care:

Follow these simple care requirements for a long-lived, happy Kashmir Rose. Easy Elegance® Roses are grown on their own roots and offer extremely high performance, even in tough conditions. Plant them in full sun, where they receive at least six hours of sun a day. The morning sun is great because it quickly dries off the foliage. Good airflow is important to keep your Kashmir healthy. Likewise, well-drained soil is a must, and Nature Hills Root Booster is recommended to provide a symbiotic relationship that never 'wears out'.

Apply a consistent amount of water on a regular basis. Use mulch to help keep the roots moist, and avoid splashing water onto the foliage..but please pull it back from directly touching the stems. Feed your Roses a good slow-release fertilizer according to the directions. Reapply this flowering plant food until July.

Rake up all the dropped foliage in fall from underneath your Rose bushes. Bag them up for removal in your yard waste. In early spring as the plants begin to wake up, put on your thick gloves and sharpen your garden shears. Prune all stems down to six inches from the ground and watch for the glorious new foliage to appear.

It is naturally resistant to both black spot and mildew. Own root Kashmir Rose has been specially bred to be tough and reliable in extreme cold and high heat.
