Perfume Factory™ Hybrid Tea Rose Bush

1. Planting:  Choose a location with 6–8 hours of direct sun and rich, well-draining soil. Dig a hole twice the width of the root ball. For container-grown plants, loosen the roots before planting. Position with the crown slightly above soil level, backfill, and water deeply. Mulch to retain moisture.

2. Watering:  Water regularly until established. Check for wilting in the morning as a sign to water. Once established, water deeply but less frequently to encourage strong root development. Container-grown roses need more frequent watering—always saturate thoroughly until water drains out the bottom.

3. Fertilizing: Fertilize in early spring after the danger of frost. Use a rose-specific fertilizer and follow label instructions. Repeat light feedings through the season to support continuous blooming, but stop in late summer to allow new growth to harden before winter.

4. Pruning: Prune hybrid tea roses 3–4 weeks before your last frost date. Remove one-third to two-thirds of the plant to stimulate fresh growth and more flowers. Deadhead spent blooms regularly throughout the growing season to promote new flowers and maintain shape.
