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: 3-5 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.
3rd year was the charm for sure! Absolutely gorgeous roses this year! My knock outs were beautiful too but this yellow… there is just something so rich about the yellow color of this rose with its glossy deep green leaves! Absolutely stunning!
Last summer was my 3rd year with my Julia Rose. I have to say the first year it grew a bit, not as much as I wanted but the second year was better.!
It does not look like what I purchased. I believe they sent me a wrong type. This one looks like some cheap wild rose without proper identification. It has 13 petals. I bought two of Julia Child roses and second one did not bloom yet. I will not buy from this vendor again.

2. Three day shipping excellent packaging no signs of shipping damage.
3. Best prices I could find for this rose online.
4. Friendly professional communication.
Pictures taken on day three after arrival and replanting.
They’re doing fine so far !!
Hello! Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us feedback and sending us a LOVELY photo. Happy Gardening!
Great Gardens ships healthy plants, packaged carefully, and the Julia Child rose is very pretty, grows well, smells even better. if I could just keep bunnies and squirrels from eating the buds!
I have new buds coming out on my rose bush. When it arrived it was well packaged and I am very pleased
I always trim off any new buds when I plant a rose, so the energy can go into rooting. This plant has thrived and while rooting, also produced a new bud. It is healthy and appears strong. The bloom was a beautiful little bright yellow rose. Exactly what I wanted. I can't wait until next year!

Julia Child™ Rose
I would like to correct my previous review for receiving a wrong rose instead of Julia Child. The customer service promptly corrected an error. I am satisfied and will give other four stars back. I am considering buying other roses in future from this store. Thank you again Sarah.
Plants arrived small, they looked healthy. First time buying plants from your site. It would be nice to have unpacking instructions on box. I have blooms already! A beautiful yellow color. Petals are perfect shaped.
My plant is thriving very well even in the 90 degree heat. And I just noticed that it already has a bud and can’t wait to see the bloom.
Ordering easy, well packed and good root and plant development. Thanks!
I ordered to Julia Child‘s rosebushes. Unfortunately, UPS took nearly a week to deliver them and they were in pretty bad shape when I receive them both of them were planted in our yard in a partly sunny area. One of them is absolutely gorgeous. I have never seen such a beautiful yellow rose. The other one unfortunately did not make it, but within 24 hours Great gardens was kind enough to refund my money as promised. I would buy from them again. Thank you for your wonderful customer service.
All the plants I ordered came in good condition and have been thriving ever since I planted them. Thanks!
The plant arrived a little distressed. Now, however, it has been carefully repotted into a lovely blue pot and has 3 little buds!!
Made a good decision on the Julia Child roses that I purchased, as well as where I bought them from. Great Garden Plants did an excellent job on packaging them for shipment. Plants arrived healthy and ready to grow. Had buds and blooms within 10 days of being planted in the ground. Would reccomend this company, as I already have to a friend and he has also been pleased with his shipment.
Regards, KMS
