Planting Instructions:
-
-
- Location:Plant Roses in a location with full sun and well-drained soil. Good air circulation is important to prevent diseases.
- Planting:Dig a hole that’s slightly wider but no deeper than the root ball. Amend the soil with organic matter like compost before planting. Place the Rose in the hole, ensuring the graft union is above the soil level. Backfill with soil and water thoroughly.
- Spacing:Space Roses according to their mature size and growth habit, typically about 2 to 4 feet apart.
- Care:Water newly planted Roses regularly until established. Once established, they require consistent moisture, especially during hot, dry periods. Mulch around the plants to conserve moisture and suppress weeds. Prune annually in late winter or early spring to remove dead or weak branches and shape the plant. Fertilize with a balanced fertilizer in spring and again after the first wave of flowering.
