Rose Bush FAQs

Where Is The Best Place To Plant Rose Bushes?

Roses need a protected location and prefer full sun and 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.

One of the finest reds

This is such an excellent rose. The flowers have perfect shape, and they are round and full even when they have fully opened, so they look great on the plant for a long time. It grows lots of big, thick new canes every year, so they hold up well in the wind. It is one of the taller hybrid teas that I have, and you really have to cut some of the flowers to keep it to a manageable size. It has multiple flushes of blooms each year, and the plant is just covered in blooms. It is quite striking. The single (no side buds that need removal if you are going to cut them) flowers are borne upon tall, thick stems, which makes them excellent for cutting, and the flowers last exceptionally long n the vase. In Texas where our winters are very mild, this rose never quits. I've often had blooms on this plant well into January, or even February. I've never had any disease problems with this one, although I have a strict treatment regimen, so I rarely have problems with any of my roses, so I can't say how naturally disease resistant it is. If you are only going to have one red hybrid tea in your garden, this is the one you should have.

Dear Jeff,

Thank you so much for sharing your thoughtful and detailed review! It’s wonderful to hear how much joy this red hybrid tea rose brings you, especially with its striking blooms lasting well into the cooler months in Texas. Your description of the rose’s perfect shape, sturdy canes, and prolific flowering really paints a vivid picture—and it’s clear you’ve put a lot of care and attention into maintaining it. Your notes on bloom longevity and cutting convenience will surely be invaluable for other growers considering this rose.

We really appreciate your diligence with a treatment regimen; having a disease-free and thriving plant is definitely rewarding. For fellow gardeners aiming to get similar lasting blooms and strong growth, maintaining your regular watering schedule alongside occasional feeding with a balanced rose fertilizer will help keep those canes big and healthy. If you’re ever interested, you might also enjoy our guides on pruning hybrid teas and controlling common pests to enhance bloom quality further.

Thanks again for being such a passionate member of our nature-loving community. It sounds like this rose truly is a showstopper in your beautiful garden!
