Description
Soil:
Roses need moist, slightly acidic, well-draining soil to grow vigorously throughout the season. This flowering shrub could also benefit from the addition of compost, aged manure, or leaf mold to the planting soil.Light:
Some roses can grow in part sun, but most thrive in full sun (> 6 hours sun) environments. Check your rose cultivar to determine if it’s more shade-tolerant.Water:
Try to keep the soil evenly moist, especially in their first growing season. Never allow the rose foliage to remain wet into the evening; water early in the day. Failure to do so could cause diseased plants.Fertilizing:
Feed your roses with a blended fertilizer made for roses to keep the flowers coming. This can be done after each bloom cycle.Winterizing:
Spread a layer of composted manure, compost, or shredded leaves over the base of the plant in late fall after the ground freezes. Covering these mounds and the lower parts of the bushes with evergreen boughs will add protection. Pull the mounding material away from the stem as new growth emerges in spring. Prune injured branches over when new buds emerge in spring.Maintenance & Pruning:
Prune to remove deadwood, control or direct growth, and promote flowering. Wait until growth breaks in early spring before pruning. Every 2 or 3 years, remove about one-third of the old branches to stimulate new, fresh growth. Remove faded flowers to encourage blooming.NO RISK 60 DAY GUARANTEE

Customer Reviews
I purchased these in 2022. Finally in 2024 I get a few blooms, that typically fall off shortly afterwards. While the blooms like nice and attract pollinators, let me tell you this is one of the deadliest rose bushes around when it comes to thorns! OMG, there is not one spot that doesn't have thorn. I would gladly trade these for the Firefighter Hybrid roses.
Thank you for your feedback. Unfortuantely, the old saying is true! Every rose has its thorns, and while breeders are working on developing thornless varieties, they don't seem to have the same vigor and flower power as those with thorns. With months of continuous blooms, you won't be dissapointed with its performance in the garden!
These did not look good when I took them out of the box, but I’ve been watering them and they’ve perked up a bit. This intense heat for the past week doesn’t help. Possibly the shipment should have been delayed so as not to be affected.
