Product Details

Height: 4 - 5 ft
Spacing: 3 ft
Depth: Soak the bareroot in water for about an hour. As a rule of thumb, dig the hole about 1 1/2 times as deep and 1 1/2 times as wide as the root system is long. Mound a small pile of soil in the center of the hole as a support for the rose's root crown. Be sure to keep the graft above the soil.
Spread: 3 ft
Light Required: Full sun to partial shade. Full sun is best for quicker flowering and higher quality plants.
Color: Lovely orchid pink
Foliage: Clean green leaves.
Zone: 4 - 10 (-20 degrees)

Form: upright shrub.
Flower Form: Enormous old-fashioned full 5-6" flowers (petals 50+) saturated with super-strong classic old rose fragrance.
Soil Requirements: Well-drained, sandy loam soil.
Growth Rate: Moderate once established.
Pruning: Since rose bushes like to send out a strong lateral cane at the node just below a pruning cut, try to make pruning cuts about 1/4 inch above an "outward" facing leaf bud. By doing this and removing plant material from the center of the bush you will create a more open vase-shaped plant less susceptible to disease. Remove spent flowers to encourage rebloom.
