How to Grow
Light: Sun (> 6 hours sun)
Water: Try to keep the soil evenly moist, especially in their first growing season. Never allow the foliage to remain wet into the evening; water early in the day.
Spacing: 3 - 4 ft.
Fertilizing: To keep the flowers coming, feed your roses with a fertilizer blended especially for roses. This can be done after each bloom cycle.
Winterizing: Spread a layer of composted manure, compost, or shredded leaves over the base of the plant in late fall after the ground freezes. Covering these mounds and the lower parts of the bushes with evergreen boughs will add protection. Pull the mounding material away from the stem as new growth emerges in spring. Prune injured branches over when new buds emerge in spring.
Maintenance & pruning: Prune to remove deadwood, to control or direct growth, and to promote flowering. Wait until growth breaks in early spring before pruning. Every 2 or 3 years, remove about one-third of the old branches to stimulate new, fresh growth. Remove faded flowers to encourage blooming.
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 received my plant about a month ago and it has already bloomed!! I'm so pleased, can't wait til next year. It's in a cage so it didn't get mowed down.
The plant I received was so tiny, only 3"-4" tall, and completely dumped out of its pot, with very little root ball. I have planted it, but I doubt it will survive. If it does, It will be many years before it is of a substantial size. I would have given zero stars, but I contacted customer service and received a refund. Everything else I ordered (hydrangeas and heuchera) were of good quality.

BOUGHT FROM proven winners. The two plants were small and rarely bloom or show new vigorous growth. Very disappointed. I assume this is its nature. planted early Spring 2025

Just purchased two of these earlier this month. Didn't expect any blooms this year but to my surprise after my walk this morning I saw this beauty about to open up along with many other buds!
Planted this last year. Bloomed quickly. Survived our Texas Sumner while just a baby rose. Survived our Winter ice storms also. Now that Spring has come, it has bloomed immensely. Daily new roses bloom. This is its first Spring. Love it! 🧡 Thank you Great Garden Plants!
After one month they grow so fast and so beautiful. Minnesota weather.
The rose arrived healthy and the fragrance is so pleasant! The color is delicate and really pretty. It’s as good as people say.
Planted in the fall in Zone 7a. This Rose has bloomed 4 times already this year. I was afraid to plant it in this bed cause it tends to not drain very well, it turns out the rose loves it. Everytime I deadhead it and clip it back, it blooms again. This picture was taken in 100 degree heat. The color is beautiful. Every plant I have purchased from great garden plants has done very well. Thank You for the great plants!
My at last flower is no to my liking Iam not satisfied
Please email our claims team with photos and your concerns and we will be happy to make this right! [email protected]
This is a gorgeous rose bush- I am so happy t have bought it. I bought it back in October 2022 I believe it was and planted it right away. It was tiny at that time! Now, June 2023 it is thriving and packed full of buds. The leaves are a lush green, no pest issues so far and easy peasy to grow. I haven't even fertilized it. It thrives in full sun with rubber mulch here in Oregon at about 1300 feet above sea level. I only wish they'd come out with more colors in the At Last Rose collection. Great plant and great customer service at Great Garden Plants!
They have been in for about a month and are blooming like crazy and putting on considerable new growth. I also love the color!
Arrived in a 1 quart container. Very green and healthy. It has now doubled in size and has it's first bloom. It was ordered the last of May and delivered the first of June. I love this rose! Lots of petals. The scent is not as strong as it should be but it is still rather small so I'm sure it will mature just fine. I plan to buy more after I move. BTW, it is in a container so it will grow in one if you prefer to keep it small. I am just keeping it contained until we move so I can take it with me.
I purchased three At Last Roses in the smallest size available, earlier this year, and all three have performed exceptionally well here in central Mississippi, zone 8! They’ve only been in the ground a few months and have bloomed almost nonstop since they were planted. And the smell is delicious!! Everyone who visits my garden asks about these roses every time!
Thank you so much!
I bought this rose because I was told it is apricot shade, But I received it with a yellow flower on it🙁
Thank you for your feedback! Your At Last rose has spent all of it's life in a greenhouse and has received filtered light through the greenhouse ceiling. It also spent a little bit of time in a box on it's way to you. As flowers mature, the pigment in their petals fade. However, when your rose pushes out blooms once it adjusts to its new home in your garden you will most definitely see the gorgeous apricot blooms that the At Last rose is known for. Happy Gardening!
I just received my At Last Roses & today and I am very impressed with the quality of these rose bushes. The packaging was very protective of the roses: the containers the roses were in even had a plastic bag covering the complete pot so the soil could not spill out into the shipping box. The rose fertilizer I ordered was even inside a box that was inside of the shipping box. I had asked questions about these roses because I live in WI and it's getting to the end of our planting season here. I received quick answers to my inquiries and the plants themselves are just beautiful & healthy. I will have no problem planting these roses outside in a couple of days and with confidence they will make it through the winter. I've already referred my daughter to Great Garden Plants for her landscaping needs this coming spring and I will recommend and continue to order from Great Garden Plants in future. I've included a picture of the rose bushes I received. Glad I found you Great Garden Plants!
This is a tiny tiny rose for $20. I knew the plants were a quart size but was surprised at how small they were compared to garden center plants. This rose was definitely not worth $20. I took a picture of it next to a Jack Be Little pumpkin I grew for size reference as well as next to a Ring of Fire rose I bought this May for $25. You don’t even notice the little twig next to my Ring of Fire rose. So disappointed.
This is an excellent hardy rose. I was so impressed after ordering 6, I placed another order for 9 more. Beautiful color and abundant bloomer. The roses all arrived in excellent condition.
Is it too late to plant roses here on Florida or should I wait till spring?
You probably still have time to plant! The rule of thumb is to plant after the threat of frost has passed in your area in spring or at least six weeks before the first hard frost of fall in your area.
