For the most blooms, this Rose prefers full sun, favoring the morning sun to dry the leaves of dew. Choose a site with good air circulation throughout USDA growing zones 4 through 10, these Groundcover Roses are very cold and heat tolerant!

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, 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.
