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: Do not prune for 2-3 years after planting. 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.
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.
Lots of dead leaves. I thought the plant would be at least 1 foot tall -- it's about 6 inches.

Spectacular bloom this spring!!!
Purchased 7/23
Grew about 5ft in a year
Had one rose bud first year ( pleasant surprise)
Have over a dozen roses 7/24
Favorite rose in my garden boasting roses that last for weeks after opening, color starts off more orange, turns more peach, more yellow, final color is off-white. I hope my picture does this beauty justice.
I ordered few climbers and shrubs this spring for the first time from Great Garden Plants. All of them arrived in excellent condition. The quality of the plants are great and my plants are thriving and are just beautifully growing. Thank you the Great Garden Plants team! I will come back for more. Waiting for climbing roses to be back in stock:=)

sturdy rose and well packaged
Small but growing!!
I received my order of yellow and purple roses during the first week of April. I got them planted a couple of days later and so far (about 3 weeks) they are looking very happy and healthy.
My rose arrived in good shape. A bushy plant with no damage. It was packaged very carefully. It's healthy & green and growing fine. I'm very pleased with my purchase & I can't wait to see it bloom. Thank you for an excellent buy including the reasonable price.
I ordered the small pint size rose and it was so healthy and vigorous and bushed out. It was packaged well and shipped on time.
Well packaged, healthy plant arrived in great condition.
Packaged very well. Arrived in excellent condition. Small but healthy plants.
I can only say that 3/4 of the plants were alive and healthy. I’m still hopeful it will come to life but it seems doom. Pink rose bush X :(

Packed well. Doing great in container until next summer. Very excited!
I’m about a month out from the arrival and planting of the rose. Arrived in great shape with sturdy packaging. Has thrived since day one after planting. The care instructions are very straight forward. I can’t want to see how it does this summer.

Very healthy starter plant. I am happy with my purchase
Garden Sun™ Climbing Rose
I think the price for such tiny plants are pretty high.
I am so happy with the 2 rose plants I purchased!! I planted and are caring for them according to directions and they are thriving. I am looking forward to enjoying them when the roses start blooming in a few years.
I will definitely purchase from you again.
