Planting & Care

Where to Plant

Sunlight: This rose needs at least six to eight hours of direct sun daily to maintain its brilliant golden color and high petal count. While it can handle very light afternoon shade, less sun usually leads to weaker stems and fewer flower clusters.
Soil: Aim for rich, well drained soil that holds moisture without becoming a swamp. If you have heavy clay, mix in organic compost or aged manure to improve drainage and prevent root rot.

Watering Requirements

During the first growing season, provide about one inch of water per week to help the root system settle into its new home. Once established, this rose is relatively resilient, but consistent deep watering at the base of the plant is necessary to prevent the blooms from wilting or drying out prematurely. Avoid overhead watering to keep the foliage dry and minimize the risk of fungal issues like black spot.

Pruning Tips

Because Doris Day roses bloom on new wood, you should prune them in late winter or very early spring just as the buds begin to swell. Cut the canes back by about one third to a half at a 45 degree angle just above an outward facing bud. This acts like a refresh for the plant, encouraging vigorous new growth and a round, bushy shape that produces the most flowers.

Fertilizer Needs

Apply a balanced rose food or a slow release granular fertilizer in early spring and again after the first flush of blooms. Avoid using high nitrogen fertilizers late in the summer because this encourages soft, tender growth that can be easily killed by the first frost. Using a fertilizer with a bit more phosphorus will help ensure those signature yellow clusters remain large and vibrant all season.

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:

Carefully consider where you plant your Doris Day® Rose. They do best in full sun with at least six hours of direct sunlight a day. Roses need well-drained soil that sheds water quickly after a rainfall. This is important because Rose roots don't tolerate standing water. Add Nature Hills Root Booster to your planting hole for life-long support. The symbiotic ingredients never "wear out"

Dig your planting hole twice as wide as the roots, but no deeper. Only dig deep enough to match the level of the soil line.at your home and in the pot. Water with a consistent schedule for the best flowering. Keep container-grown Roses hydrated!

Apply a three-inch layer of mulch over the roots to keep them nice and cool. Then, pull it back away from directly touching the canes. Feed Doris Day® Roses specialty Rose fertilizer. Check the application rates and timing on the label.

In the fall, please bag and remove all leaf litter. Overwinter in cold zones with a mound of mulch applied in late November. Wait until early spring to prune each of the Rose canes down to 6 - 8 inches. Cut at a 45-degree angle just above a nice, fat bud and remove the winter mulch from the crown.
