Moonlight in Paris® Rose Shrub

1. Planting:  Moonlight in Paris® roses flourish in full sun and need at least six hours of direct sunlight each day. Plant them in well-drained, rich, and fertile soil. Choose a location with good air circulation to help prevent diseases. Space the plants 3 to 4 feet apart to allow for their mature growth. It is recommended to plant in spring, about six weeks before the last frost, although fall planting is also an option, around six weeks before the first frost. Apply organic mulch around the base of the plant to retain moisture and suppress weeds.

2. Watering:  Water plants regularly, especially when newly planted, to keep the soil moist but not waterlogged. Water deeply around the roots instead of from above. While they can be grown in containers, these roses may need more frequent watering.

3. Fertilizing: Fertilize with rose fertilizer in early spring and throughout the growing season.

4. Pruning: Prune in late fall or early spring to shape the plant and remove dead or damaged canes. While deadheading (removing spent blooms) is optional, it can encourage more flowering.
