After you get your rose home be sure to plant in a location that gets 5-6 hours of sun daily. Whether planting in the ground or a container, use our Master Nursery Rose Planting Mix. To get it off to a great beginning mix in a half cup of Master Start and water in with a Rootmaster B-1 solution.

To keep your rose bushes blooming throughout the season keep spent blooms removed by deadheading, cut back to a spot just above a set of five leaves that is in proportion to the rest of the plant. Continue feeding monthly using Master Nursery Rose and Flower Food or Maxsea 16-16-16. Additionally, you can mist the leaves twice a month with diluted Maxsea or Master Nursery Fish Emulsion. Your roses will reward your efforts with continuous blooms all season. Make sure to water your roses deeply twice a week with about 5 gallons of water. If summer temperatures soar to over 100 degrees check your plants daily for additional water needs. A 3″ layer of organic mulch will help to conserve moisture. However, make sure to leave a 6″ space between the plant stem and the mulch.
