For new plantings
1. Dig a hole one and a half times wider than the plant's container
2. Place plant in hole, keeping the top of the root ball ground level
3. Back fill with dirt
4. Water thoroughly and then mulch around the base to conserve moisture and reduce weeds
New plantings require more frequent watering than established plants. Wind, temperature and soil are factors to consider in watering.
Feed plants in early spring and again in early fall with an all-purpose fertilizer, following label instructions.
Care Instructions
To ensure your rose bush remains healthy and vibrant, it's important to provide enough sunlight and water on a regular basis. Make sure soil is well draining. Remove any dead foliage and faded blooms, on a regular basis, to encourage new growth. Pruning should be done in the late winter or early spring to keep the shape of the plant in good condition.
