Romantica® Ball Gown Rose

1. Planting: Select a spot with well-drained soil and full sun (6 to 8 hours of sunlight per day). Plant your rose in a hole twice as wide but just as deep as the root ball. Water immediately after to establish roots. Add a 3-inch layer of mulch to prevent weeds.

If you're planting in a container, select a pot that's about twice the size of your plant's shipped container and use organic soil. Place your rose inside and water to settle its roots, then find a sunny spot on your porch or patio to place your container.

2. Watering: Water consistently, providing a deep soak when the top inch of soil feels dry.

3. Fertilizing: Fertilize in early spring with a balanced rose fertilizer, and then again in late spring and midsummer to support continuous growth.

4. Pruning: Prune in early spring, removing dead or weak wood and shaping the plant for optimal growth. Regular deadheading throughout the growing season will encourage continuous blooming.
