#ProPlantTips for Care:
Hybrid Tea Roses produce the most flowers in well-drained, enriched soils in full sun. Provide good air circulation and a location with the morning sun to dry their leaves. Watering your Roses should be done at the soil level, keeping the leaves dry for best results. Water regularly, especially throughout the hot summer months. Roses also appreciate having a 3-4 inch thick layer of arborist mulch covering their roots. This helps stop splashing soil, which keeps the foliage clean and disease-free while holding moisture in more consistently and insulating the roots. Growing Hybrid Tea Roses in zones colder than zone 7 should be mounded with 8-12 inches of mulch in late fall after the frost kills the foliage.

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.
