Planting

How to Grow

Plant in a location that receives at least 6-8 hours of direct sun.
Work compost into the soil to create a rich, well-draining bed.
Dig a hole wide and deep enough for the roots to spread out.
Position the plant so the graft union is at or slightly above soil level.
Backfill the hole, water deeply, and mulch.
Provide consistent water, about an inch per week, during the growing season.

Pro Tip

This rose is self-cleaning, meaning spent petals drop cleanly, reducing the need for constant deadheading for a tidy appearance.
