Tips for Care:

Plant Roses in full sun for the most blooms, but these also bloom wonderfully in partial shade. This Groundcover Rose is very low maintenance and disease-resistant! It will tolerate a wide range of soils and climates. Provide moderate and consistent moisture throughout the growing season and regular fertilizer. They are drought-tolerant when established but can also withstand moist soils, as long as the drainage is good.

Deadheading encourages re-blooming. Fertilize with Dr. Earth’s Life Organic and Natural All-Purpose Fertilizer in the spring. Wait until early spring to prune back last year’s growth down to 12 inches. Remove any broken, crossing, or winter-damaged branches.
