#ProPlantTips for Care:
Yes, Touch of Class™ takes just a bit more care, but aren't the finest things in life worth it? You'll love every minute spent babying these beauties and coaxing their pretty blooms into full flower, so lavish your love on them! Their effervescent charm and beauty more than make up for their nominal care.
Full sun, great soil drainage, and air circulation set the stage for success with Hybrid Tea Roses. Provide consistent water, Rose food, and proper hygiene by picking up and disposing of leaf litter. Provide at least a 3 to 4-inch layer of mulch over the soil to improve moisture retention and insulate, but do not let it pile against the crown. Growing Hybrid Tea Roses in zones colder than zone 7 should be mounded with 8-12 inches of mulch in late fall for best overwintering.
Hybrid Tea Roses have it all - beauty, and fragrance and they are easy to grow. Don't let their sulky reputation fool you...they're still a very modern Rose bush, after all. Read all you need about pruning Roses, winterizing, and un-wintering Roses in the spring in 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.
