Planting & Care

Where to Plant

Sunlight: These roses thrive with at least 6 to 8 hours of direct sunlight daily. While they can manage in partial shade, you will notice fewer flowers and a less intense fragrance if they do not get enough sun.
Soil: Plant in rich, well draining soil that feels crumbly like chocolate cake. If you have heavy clay, mix in organic compost to improve drainage, or use a raised mound to keep the roots from sitting in stagnant water.

Watering Requirements

During the first year, provide about one inch of water per week to help the roots settle into their new home. Once established, these roses are surprisingly resilient, but consistent moisture is the secret to those large, petal heavy blooms. If the soil stays too dry for too long, the plant will prioritize survival over flowering, leading to smaller and fewer blossoms.

Pruning Tips

Sweet Fragrance Roses bloom 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 and reduce the overall height by about one third to stimulate fresh, vigorous growth. Think of it like a seasonal haircut that clears out the center of the bush to allow better airflow and prevent leaf diseases.

Fertilizer Needs

Apply a balanced, slow release rose food in early spring and again after the first major flush of flowers fades. Avoid using high nitrogen fertilizers late in the summer, as this encourages soft, tender growth that can be easily damaged by the first winter frost. A steady diet of phosphorus rich nutrients will keep the plant focused on producing those signature scented blooms rather than just green leaves.

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

Plant Roses where they get at least six hours of direct sunlight a day. Full sun exposure with a preference for morning sun is one of the most important things you can do for successful blooming.

Well-drained soil is also important. Elevate the planting in a raised bed, or grow in containers if you suffer from "soggy soil" that stays wet for a long time after it rains.

Provide a consistent amount of water on a regular schedule. You'll want to add a three-inch layer over the root systems to keep them cool, but pull the mulch back from directly touching the stems.

When planting, our growers highly recommend the use of Nature Hills Root Booster. The time-tested ingredients create a life-long symbiotic relationship to help the tiny feeder roots access micronutrients.

Roses need to be fed, especially during bloom production. Give them a good quality, slow-release fertilizer designed for flowering plants in early spring and reapply according to the directions on the label.

In the fall, rake and bag fallen leaves from underneath Rose plants. Place them in your yard waste, and don't try to compost them.

Prune each stem down to six inches in early spring as they start to come out of dormancy. Wear thick gardening gloves and keep your shears sharpened.
