Understanding Plant Options

#ProPlantTips for Care:
Hybrid Tea Rose bushes need full sun and good air circulation to do their best! Provide a location with the morning sun to dry their leaves and only water at the root zone. Plant in enriched, highly organic and fertile soil that is well-drained - never soggy. Water regularly, especially throughout the hot summer months. In zones 7 and below, Hybrid Tea Roses should be mounded with 8-12 inches of mulch in late fall after the frost killed the leaves for best overwintering.
- Full Sun
- Moist Enriched Well-Drained Soil
- Regular Fertility & Watering
- Prune Early Spring
- Mulch Very Well
For the cost of a long stem red rose bouquet at a florist, the voluminous red blooms of the Rouge Royale™ Hybrid Tea Rose will spout your unending devotion for years to come! Hurry and order this fantastic new selection from NatureHills.com today!
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. Roses 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 can 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.
