Planting & Care

Where to Plant

Sunlight: This rose thrives in full sun, requiring at least six to eight hours of direct sunlight daily. While it can tolerate light afternoon shade in exceptionally hot climates, less sun often results in weaker stems and fewer of its signature double blooms.
Soil: Aim for rich, loamy soil that drains as well as a colander to prevent root rot. If you are dealing with heavy clay, mix in organic compost or aged manure to improve aeration and drainage before planting.

Watering Requirements

During the first growing season, water deeply two to three times a week to help the roots dive deep into the soil. Once established, this rose is remarkably resilient, but inconsistent moisture can lead to smaller flowers and premature leaf drop. Always apply water at the base of the plant rather than over the foliage to keep the leaves dry and prevent fungal issues.

Pruning Tips

True Inspiration™ roses bloom on new wood, so you should prune them in late winter or early spring just as the leaf buds begin to swell. Think of this like a refreshing haircut; remove dead or crossing canes and cut the remaining healthy stems back to about 12 to 18 inches. This heavy pruning encourages vigorous new growth and ensures the plant has the structural strength to support its heavy blossoms.

Fertilizer Needs

Apply a balanced, slow release rose fertilizer in early spring and again after the first major flush of blooms to keep the energy levels high. Avoid using high nitrogen fertilizers late in the summer, as this triggers soft new growth that will not have time to harden off before the first frost. This late season "growth spurt" leaves the plant vulnerable to winter kill and unnecessary stress.

Understanding Our Container Sizes

At Nature Hills, our plants are sold in industry-standard nursery containers. You will notice we use the word "container" rather than "gallon." Container numbers follow a nursery trade size standard, not liquid volume. The number tells you the plant's size category and general maturity level. A larger container means a more established plant with a stronger root system.

Container Sizes

Quart

Plant age: 6 months to 1 year
Best for: Ground covers, perennials, ornamental grasses
What to expect: Our smallest and most affordable size. Well-suited for planting in multiples across a large area. Allow 1 to 2 seasons for full establishment.

#1 Container

Plant age: 1 to 2 years
Best for: Shrubs, perennials, smaller trees
What to expect: About the size of a large coffee can. A well-developed root system in a manageable size. Good value choice when you have time to let the plant grow into the space over a season or two.

#2 Container

Plant age: 2 to 3 years
Best for: Shrubs and trees where you want faster establishment
What to expect: A noticeable step up from a #1 in both plant size and root development. Good choice when you want visible presence without going to a larger size.

#3 Container

Plant age: 3 to 4 years
Best for: Most plants, most situations — flowering trees, shade trees, evergreen shrubs
What to expect: Our most popular size. Strong, developed root system. Plants in a #3 container make an immediate visual impact from day one. If you want a head start rather than waiting seasons for a plant to fill in, this is typically the right choice.

#5 Container and Larger

Plant age: 4 to 5+ years
Best for: Specimen plants, privacy screens, maximum instant impact
What to expect: Large, mature plants ready to make an immediate statement in your landscape. We also carry #7 and larger sizes for select varieties.

Why "Container" and Not "Gallon"?

Nursery container sizes follow an industry trade standard established for the nursery and horticulture industry. The number is a size designation, not a measurement of liquid volume. Actual soil volume varies by plant type, root mass, and growing medium. Using "container" is the accurate industry term. When you see #1, #2, or #3, think of it as the plant's size tier, not a gallon measurement.

Root Pouch Containers

Some Nature Hills plants arrive in a Root Pouch, a breathable fabric container made from 100% recycled materials. Root Pouches encourage denser root development through air pruning, which discourages root circling and promotes a stronger, more fibrous root ball at the time of planting.

There are two types. Knowing which one you have changes how you plant:

Degradable (brown or tan fabric): Plant the entire pouch directly in the ground. The fabric breaks down naturally in the soil over time.
Non-degradable (black or gray fabric): Remove the pouch before planting. Cut the bottom open with scissors, then peel the sides away. The fibrous root ball will hold its shape.

Not sure which type you have? Check the tag on your plant or contact us and we will confirm.
