Tips for Care:

Site selection is important, so choose an area in full sun, well-drained soil, and good air circulation. Keep the area tidy with mulch; bag and remove all leaf litter promptly. Roses perform at their peak with a regular schedule of water. It’s best to use soaker hoses or drip irrigation, rather than overhead watering.

Read our Planting Guide for expert advice for installing this gorgeous Hybrid Tea Rose bush. Always add Nature Hills Root Booster to your order for use during planting, and as a top dressing for mature plants.

You’ll want to mulch the root system but pull it away from directly touching the stems. Roses are hungry and need a good slow-release fertilizer in early spring and mid-summer. Use a formula for flowering plants for the best results.

Prune Roses down to six inches in early spring. The blooms occur each year on new growth from the base of the plant. Be sure to rake up all the fallen leaf litter in late fall. Bag and dispose of Rose leaves for good hygiene. The more flowers you cut, the more you encourage repeat flushes of blooms. Why not take cut flowers to schools, nursing homes, and hospitals to say “thank you” to our hard-working helpers?
