#ProPlantTips for Care:

Site selection is actually the most important part of planting Roses. Landscape Shrub Roses prefer lots of sunlight, at least 6 hours of direct sun a day, favoring the leaf-drying power of the morning sun. Plants in hotter climates do appreciate a touch of afternoon shade for relief from the heat, and a 3-4 inch layer of arborist Mulch chips over their root systems to keep them cool and regulate moisture levels.

Provide a well-drained, humusy site that maintains adequate moisture throughout the growing season, and fertilize with Rose food a couple of times early in the growing season. Read all you need about Rose pruning Roses Here, and about winterizing your Roses Here and un-wintering Roses in Spring in our #ProPlantTips Garden Blog!

Rose Bush FAQs

Where Is The Best Place To Plant Rose Bushes?

Rose bushes prefer full sun and favor the drying power of the morning sun and flower best in 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 Rose Bushes Come Back Every Year?

Rose bushes are deciduous woody perennial shrubs and will return bigger and better each year.
