Planting & Care

Where to Plant

Sunlight: Give your Sunrise Sunset Rose at least 6 to 8 hours of direct sunlight every day. While it can tolerate light afternoon shade, full sun ensures the most vibrant pink-to-apricot color transitions and the heaviest flower production throughout the season.
Soil: These roses prefer rich, well drained soil that feels like a wrung out sponge. If you have heavy clay, mix in organic compost or aged bark to improve drainage, as "wet feet" can lead to root rot and poor growth.

Watering Requirements

During the first growing season, water deeply two or three times a week to help the roots dive deep into the soil. Once established, this shrub rose is remarkably drought tolerant, but you should still provide supplemental water during dry spells to prevent the blooms from shrinking or dropping early. Inconsistent watering often leads to scorched leaf edges and a shorter flowering window.

Pruning Tips

Since this variety blooms on new wood, the best time to prune is in early spring just as the leaf buds begin to swell. Think of this like a refreshing haircut; cut the stems back by about one third to a half to encourage vigorous new growth and a flush of fresh flowers. Removing dead or crossing canes improves air circulation, which naturally keeps the foliage healthy and resistant to common rose issues.

Fertilizer Needs

Apply a balanced, slow release rose fertilizer in early spring and again in midsummer to fuel its continuous blooming habit. Avoid using high nitrogen fertilizers late in the fall because this encourages tender new growth that can be easily killed by the first hard frost. Stick to a formula labeled for roses to ensure you are providing the specific micronutrients needed for those bright, multi colored petals.

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:

Give Sunrise Sunset Rose full sun, or at least six hours of direct sun each day. Plant them in a spot with well-drained soil and good air circulation. Roses love the beneficial ingredients in Nature Hills Root Booster, which includes mycorrhizal fungus. It never "wears out" to support the tiny feeder roots in their quest to access micronutrients and moisture from the soil.

Sunrise Sunset Roses need a moderate amount of water on a regular basis. Topdress with a 3-4 inch layer of arborist mulch over the roots to ensure they remain cool and moist, then pull it away from directly touching the stems. Apply a Rose fertilizer according to the label instructions. Don't use lawn fertilizers near your Roses, or you'll risk reducing the beautiful blooms.

Hard prune these "own root" Roses in early spring, cutting to eight inches from the ground. Hard spring pruning will keep your plants closer to 2-3 feet high and wide.

Rose Bush FAQs

Where Is The Best Place To Plant Rose Bushes?

Roses need a protected location in full sun and favor the drying power of the morning sun. They 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 Roses Come Back Every Year?

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

Frequently Asked Questions

How big do they get?

Sunrise Sunset Shrub Roses reach 3-6 feet tall and 4-7 feet wide at maturity. They're hardy in zones 4-9 and have a naturally spreading growth habit. Space them 3 feet apart when mass planting to allow room for their full spread.

What USDA hardiness zones is the Sunrise Sunset Shrub Rose suitable for?

The Sunrise Sunset Shrub Rose thrives in USDA hardiness zones 4 through 9. This wide range means it can handle both cold northern winters and hot southern summers. Shop at Nature Hills for this versatile rose that adapts to most climates across the country.

Does the Sunrise Sunset Shrub Rose come own-root or grafted?

The Sunrise Sunset Shrub Rose comes on its own roots, not grafted. This own-root propagation contributes to its excellent disease resistance and hardiness in zones 4-9. Plant it knowing the entire root system will produce the same beautiful fuchsia-to-apricot blooms.

What type of soil is best for planting Sunrise Sunset Shrub Rose?

Sunrise Sunset Shrub Rose thrives in well-draining soil with a pH between 6.0-7.0. This disease-resistant variety adapts to most soil types as long as drainage is good. Amend heavy clay with compost and plant in full sun for best blooming performance in zones 4-9.

How often should I water the Sunrise Sunset Shrub Rose after planting?

Water newly planted Sunrise Sunset roses deeply 2-3 times per week for the first month. Once established in zones 4-9, these disease-resistant shrubs are quite drought tolerant. Reduce to weekly watering, soaking the root zone thoroughly rather than frequent shallow watering.

How and when do I prune the Sunrise Sunset Shrub Rose?

Prune Sunrise Sunset roses in late winter or early spring before new growth begins. Remove dead, damaged, or crossing branches, then cut back remaining canes by one-third to maintain the 3-6 foot height. Light pruning after each flush encourages continuous blooming through the season.
