Planting & Care Guide

Planting Considerations:

Choose a site with excellent drainage and at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily. Space plants to encourage good air circulation and reduce the likelihood of fungal diseases. Apply mulch annually to maintain even soil moisture and moderate soil temperature.

Care:

Plant in fertile, well-drained soil in a location that receives at least 6 hours of direct sunlight each day. Water deeply during dry periods, apply mulch to conserve soil moisture, prune in early spring to remove dead or damaged canes, and fertilize with a balanced rose fertilizer in spring and after each major flush of blooms.

Tolerances:

Heat tolerant once established, moderately drought tolerant once established, tolerant of urban growing conditions, and shows good disease resistance when grown with proper air circulation and care.

Tips For Success:

Deadhead spent blooms regularly to encourage continuous flowering. Water deeply at the base of the plant to keep foliage dry, fertilize throughout the growing season, and prune annually in early spring to maintain strong, healthy growth.
