#ProPlantTips For Care

Roses need the full sun to really shine. For the most blooms, provide at least 6 hours of direct light a day, favoring the morning sun to dry their leaves of dew.

Hardy in USDA growing zones 6 through 11, this Rose tolerates humid climates and a touch of afternoon shade in the hottest hardiness zones to protect it from the relentless sun and heat. These are disease-resistant Rose selections and resistant to black spot.

Plant your shrub in an area with good air circulation, in very well enriched, well-drained soil. Preferring nutrient-rich soil, amended with plenty of compost and organic matter. Fertilize your Rose 2-3 times a year with Rose fertilizer for the healthiest shrub possible.

Water regularly, yet moderately to maintain a consistently moist environment. Roses despise soggy conditions, so if poor drainage is suspected, plant your shrub in a mounded berm to raise it above the water table.

Mulch your Roses root system generously, not allowing it to pile up against the crown. Spread out the mulch past the ends of the leaves to maintain moisture levels in the soil, meaning you will water less often, but also provide a layer of insulation to keep the roots cool in the summer’s heat and protect them from the chill.

Prune your Rose in the very early spring before you see new growth. Trim the canes back as far as 6 - 8 inches above the crown for a renewed flush of growth each year.

Deadhead spent blooms to encourage your shrub to continue blooming. You may have your Rose take a break in the hottest part of the summer, but once cooler temperatures return, so will your blooms.
