How to Grow
Light: Sun (> 6 hours sun). This encourages the best flower production while also aiding in disease resistance.
Water: For best results, roses should get about an inch of water each week, through rainfall or irrigation. This can be difficult to gauge, but if you avoid keeping plants too wet or too dry, they'll be fine. When watering roses, whether by hand or with an irrigation system, avoid wetting the foliage, which encourages leaf spot diseases and powdery mildew.
Spacing: 6 feet, minimum
Fertilizing: Roses benefit from high levels of nutrients, increasing flowering as a result. We recommend a granular rose fertilizer applied in early spring, just as the ground begins to thaw. If you wish, you can make additional applications in late spring and early summer, but do not fertilize after mid/late July.
Winterizing: In both warm and cold climates, a 2-3" layer of mulch is recommended year-round, especially in winter. In cold climates, wait until spring to prune; warmer areas may prune in autumn if desired.
Maintenance & pruning: We do recommend yearly pruning of roses, as this encourages thick, vigorous growth and the best flower coverage. Aim to cut back to just above a large, vigorous bud. The bigger the bud you cut back to, the thicker and more vigorous the growth will be. Remove any spindly stems entirely. If roses show signs of leaf spot, remove affected portions. Most roses we offer do not require deadheading, but you may do so if you wish.
Plant spacing is based on the ultimate width of the plants. This figure is normally given as a range; for example, 3-5’. If you live in a cold climate and/or want plants to fill in more quickly, plan to space at the shorter end of the range. If you live in a warm climate, are on a limited budget, or are willing to wait longer for plants to touch, use the higher end of the range. Using the larger number is recommended when calculating distance from a building or structure. There’s really no such thing as "maximum spacing": if you don’t want your plants to touch, you can space them as far apart as you’d like. All plant spacing is calculated on center, or in other words, the centers of the plants are spaced one half of their eventual width apart:
Unless you are planting in a straight line, as you might for hedges or edging, space your plants in a staggered or zig-zag pattern for a more interesting and naturalistic look:
Not sure just how many plants will fit in your garden? Our calculator gives you the exact amount of plants required for your space. Simply update the values and the calculator will re-calculate accordingly. Spacing information can be found in the 'How to Grow' tab on each plant's page.
I ordered two climbing white roses. You sent me one climbing, white rose and one small bush of some kind. It’s still a small plant, but it is not a rose. I wanted to white climbing roses for trellis.

Sorry to say, my iceberg climbing rose is not doing well. I have ordered other roses from your company and they are doing fine. I am very good with roses. I don’t know, if this one was sent out too small or what. It is now a brown stick.

2 beautiful plants ordered! Great care instructions provided! I already have a rose blooming which I didn’t expect this year even after I had an animal dig up the bush and it had to be replanted. I will for sure be ordering again!
I bought a bunch of different climbing roses with no sprouts. I highly don't recommend.

Rose arrived in great condition. Very healthy. It continues to do very well in ground. Im looking forward to watching it grow.
Ordered a Climbing Iceberg rose. I expected a plant ready to plant in the ground. What I received was smaller than a Dandelion. I hope I live long enough to see it bloom and grow. I WILL NEVER DO BUSINESS WITH THIS COMPANY AGAIN!!

Arrived in good shape and well rooted. I got what i was expecting and it is growing well.
The rose I received was about as big as a dandelion. It just might be a mature plant in two to three years! I am VERY DISSATISSFIED and I will never do business here again!

Packed well. Arrived in good condition ( as typical for GGP). Planted immediately In plenty of denatured manure and organic/ top soil. Already reaching for the trellis. Budding and a small flower showed itself recently.
Planted immediately in good potting soil and all plants died. Very disappointed

I recently purchased some climbing roses and two gardenias- these are by far the healthiest plants I have ever ordered via mail. We planted them all and they never showed any signs of stress. All are thriving and growing just a few weeks later. I will definitely order from here again!
Thriving beautifully with healthy green foliage. Excited to see them start blooming.
I live in Denver Co. it could still snow up Mother’s Day. When do you recommend I could plant the climbing rose
Spring is a great time for planting! The rule of thumb for spring planting is to get the plants in the ground once the threat of frost has passed and the ground has become workable. If you are not sure when your average last frost is, you can read all about frost dates here:
