#ProPlantTips for Care:

Mister Lincoln Hybrid Tea Rose has an upright form and is a vigorous grower. Mister Lincoln is tolerant of a variety of conditions and is generally a hardy Rose variety. Roses do best in full sun, with a touch of partial shade in the afternoons when planted in the hottest USDA hardiness zones. Roses prefer a highly fertile, organic soil that has great drainage. Plus, a generous layer of mulch over the root system surface to better regulate moisture levels and to best insulate the roots from heat and chill. Growing Hybrid Tea Roses in zones colder than zone 7 should be mounded with 8-12 inches of mulch in late fall for best overwintering.

Provide a consistently moist environment for your Rose to flourish, avoiding soggy conditions that can smother the roots. Fertilize 2-3 times a year with a Rose or blooming plant fertilizer to keep the blooms returning along with minimal deadheading. Prune in early spring before you see new growth, trimming your canes back to about 6-8 inches above the crown. This promotes a flush of new, even growth each year! Learn about winterizing, and un-wintering your Roses in our Garden Blog, plus all the tips and tricks you need when pruning your new prize Rose bush!

Rose Bush FAQs

Where Is The Best Place To Plant Rose Bushes?

Rose bushes need a protected location, prefer full sun, 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 Roses Come Back Every Year?

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

I'm not sure I received the correct rose

The rose I received is mature and seems pretty healthy. Already had blooms on it, and within a few days of arrival already had 2 roses open. I was very happy with it and excited! However, ... the blooms aren't red. They're 2 different shades of pink. Very pretty. Smell nice. But red? They are not. Would be 5 stars if the roses were the correct color!

Dear Z. S.,

Thank you so much for sharing your experience with your new rose! We’re delighted to hear that it arrived healthy, mature, and blooming so quickly—what a lovely surprise! We understand how important it is to receive exactly what you expected, especially when it comes to flower color.

It sounds like you received a beautiful pink variety rather than the classic red you were anticipating. Sometimes, similar rose varieties can have closely related colors or variations that might cause a mix-up in the ordering. To help resolve this, we’d love to take a closer look at your order details and photos if you have any. This will allow us to check whether there was a labeling issue or polination variation affecting the bloom colors.

In the meantime, some pink varieties do share scent profiles with red roses, so you’re still enjoying a lovely fragrance—something we know many rose lovers appreciate! Feel free to contact us at [insert customer service contact] with any pictures or order info, and we will help you happily sort out the best next steps (whether it's an exchange, a SKU check, or planting tips for your specific rose).

Thank you again for your thoughtful feedback—it helps us continually improve. We want your garden purchases to feel like a perfect charmer!

Bloom on,

Dear Z. S.,

Thank you so much for sharing your experience with your new rose! We’re delighted to hear that the plant arrived healthy and blooming—and how wonderful that you’re already enjoying those lovely scents and colors.

Regarding the color difference you noticed, it’s possible that sometimes roses labeled “red” can vary slightly depending on the variety, age of the blooms, or even environmental factors like soil pH and sunlight. If you received a different colored rose than ordered, we want to make that right for you! Please reach out to our customer care team with your order details, and we’ll be happy to review your purchase and suggest the best steps forward.

In the meantime, feel free to check out our rose care guides on our website, which include helpful tips on nurturing blooms and understanding variations in color expression throughout the growing season. We hope you continue to enjoy the evolving beauty of your roses!

To greener days ahead,
