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.
The roses 🌹 came in bad conditions, half of the roses dry and I don’t think they will survive. I am not happy with my order ☹️

I was looking for roses to put in pots, and I bought this one because the blooms on the pictures looked pretty and the price was good. I didn’t expect it to be this good!
First, the foliage is beautiful and seems to be waterproof. Incredible!
Second, the blooms! It’s been only three months, maybe four months since I bought it and it’s given me so many blooms and they keep coming. They start pink and progressively lighten until they are completely white when the rose is spent.
I have fed it with organic fertilizer and it is planted in a big pot where the canes seem to cascade. This will be a classic in a few years when more people start to notice who pretty it is. I want to buy more next year for more pots, as the cascading canes look so beautiful. Buy it!
This has to be one of the most underrated roses in existence. The color is gorgeous and it’s one of the most blackspot resistant roses in my garden. She seems to have somewhat of a climbing habit which I have accommodated by adding some support, but can easily be pruned to maintain a more shrub like form. She blooms beautifully in the Texas heat and went from 10 inches to 4 feet in just under a year.
Purchased last spring and she was no more than 8 inches tall. She is now at least 2.5 feet and still growing rapidly. Her blooms are beautiful and open, but close up into an adorable cup shape in cooler weather and evenings. Pollinators absolutely love this one!
Several leaves yellow and spotty. There's also what looks like mildew? I would never have purchased this plant if I saw it in person.

Healthy plants putting out blooms
I purchased those rose about 4 weeks ago and within a few days it already had a bud forming. It opened with a beautiful light pink cup shaped bloom and unraveled into a nice very open white bloom. The scent is quite strong, and it seems to do well with the high heat and humidity in North Texas. Seems to be a great rose so far!
This is my roses second year. She is amazing. I couldn't be more pleased.
I've had this little rose for less than 2 months and she's already showing off! As with everything I've ever ordered from GGP, it arrived so healthy and has shot out tons of new growth and buds already.
Healthy,doing well,but hasn't flowered yet to tell if I love the color
My new rosebushes are healthy and were packaged with care!
I have zero complaints about my order. The plants came package very well.
My rose arrived in great condition, full of buds and is thriving in my garden. Great packing and fasting shipping too. The rose petals tasted like rose petals lol, nothing like pear! Small pink blooms very pretty.
Beautiful
I put both in pots. The adjusted well and set buds right away. Have had a half dozen flowers on each and they were stunning. I don't love the taste but I didn't buy them to eat.
I ordered the pint size and it was so healthy and bushed out. Packaged well and shipped on time.

Rainy weather delayed us getting the Flavorette Pear'd Rose into the ground and it began showing some stress; but it's in the ground now and showing nice growth! Exciting!
Are these roses thornless?
No, the Flavorette series of roses are not thornless.
Can this rose grow in a pot? I'm in zone 7a
Yes, the Flavorette Pear'd™ Rose can be grown in a pot. This rose grows up to 3-4 feet tall and wide at maturity. When selecting a pot for your Flavorette Pear'd™ Rose, make sure it is large enough to accommodate the plant's growth and has good drainage holes. A pot that is at least 18-24 inches in diameter and depth would be a good starting point!
Hi. Can this Rose survive and grow in Zone 9? I live in Palo Alto where temperatures can go up to 95F in Summer and drop down to 40F in Winter.
Hi there! Flavorette Pear'd™ Rose is rated for USDA zones 4-8 so zone 9 may be too hot for it. You can view our selection of roses suitable for zone 9 here:
