#ProPlantTips for Care:
These Roses are so easy to live with! Just give them plenty of sunlight, air circulation and well-drained soil. They need at least six hours of sunlight a day. And you can improve drainage with extra soil heaped into a planting mound or raised bed!
Give your Rose life-long support with Nature Hills Root Booster when you plant. Our experts recommend it for Roses, as it develops a symbiotic relationship with the feeder roots. Supply a consistent amount of water on a regular schedule. Place a three-inch layer of mulch to keep water and mud from splashing up onto the foliage..then pull it back from directly touching the stems. Feed Roses with a high-quality slow-release fertilizer for flowering plants according to the directions. Reapply as directed until mid-summer.

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.
