#ProPlantTips for Care:

All Roses perform their best in full sun, favoring the drying power of the morning sunlight. Hardy and adaptable John F Kennedy Rose is very cold hardy and heat resistant! Provide a rich, organic, fertile environment in well-drained soil with plenty of air circulation. Nothing does a Rose in faster than poor drainage. Provide a healthy layer of mulch, without allowing any mulch or debris to pile up around the crown.

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. 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. Feed Roses specialty Rose fertilizer. Check the application rates and timing on the label.

In spring, remove old canes and dead or diseased wood and cut back canes that cross. In warmer climates, cut back the remaining canes by about one-third. Find more about Rose pruning Here, and about winterizing Roses, 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 need a protected location, in full sun and favor the drying power of the morning sun. You'll have the best flowering 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.
