Growing and Maintenance Tips
Roses prefer moist, well drained, slightly acidic soils but are known to be quite adaptable to soils except for very wet areas. Mulching roses is recommended but be sure to keep the mulch away from the stems of the plants. Prune in spring, cutting back to just above large buds. Plant in full sun with good air circulation for best performance. Deadheading will promote more continuous bloom.
