Plant in your Pollinator gardens, Cottage gardens, and as backdrops for Perennial gardens, or for softening the corner of your home's foundation or shed. Allow it to spill over rocky areas, Rock Gardens, and create wide-spreading mounds of beauty en masse.

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.
