Planting & Care Guide

Planting Considerations:

Choose a location that receives at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily. Provide adequate spacing for air circulation to help reduce disease pressure. Mulch around the base while keeping mulch away from the main stem to prevent moisture-related issues.

Care:

Plant in fertile, well-drained soil in a location with full sun for the best flowering performance. Water deeply during dry periods, apply mulch to conserve moisture and regulate soil temperature, prune in early spring to remove dead or damaged canes, and fertilize with a balanced rose fertilizer during the growing season to support vigorous growth and repeat flowering.

Tolerances:

Extremely cold hardy, heat tolerant, adaptable to a variety of soil conditions, tolerant of urban environments, and resistant to many common rose diseases.

Tips For Success:

Water deeply rather than frequently, especially during hot and dry weather. Remove spent flowers to encourage continued blooming. Apply fertilizer in spring and after the first major bloom cycle. Prune annually in early spring to maintain shape and encourage vigorous new growth.
