#ProPlantTips for Care:
Just be sure you provide it with full sun, rich, well-drained soil, and water it well at its base. Hybrid Tea Roses 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. Growing Hybrid Tea Roses in zones 7 and under should be mounded with 8-12 inches of mulch in late fall - after the frost has killed the leaves - for the best overwintering outcome.
Don't prune this Rose in fall or winter, but instead wait until spring just as the plants start to grow before pruning all of the stems down to 6 inches. For more information on pruning Roses, winterizing your Roses, and un-wintering Roses in spring, head over to our #ProPlantTips Garden Blog!

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.
