Smoky chocolate orange to russet-red blooms. Phenomenal flower power and super-hardy plants come from these easy-to-plant 5" rose pots. In cold climates, new shoots that emerge in spring are true to type, not undesirable suckers, below the bud union. These roses will exhibit better branching to create fuller, more symmetrical bushes with more fragrant, beautiful flowers than grafted roses!

  • planting instructionsDig a hole large enough to easily accommodate root structure. Place a small 'hill' of soil at the bottom of the hole. Place the plant at the proper height in the hole, and fill two-thirds full with soil. Using a gentle stream of water, fill the remainder of the hole. As the water seeps in, it will moisten the roots and surrounding soil, removing any air pockets. After the water has settled, fill hole to the top with the remaining soil. Sprinkle lightly with water to assure good moisture.
  • pruningOn established plants removing spent blooms will encourage more flowers. Prune dramatically in early spring, after the danger of frost has passed and before new growth has begun
