How to Grow

Soil: Prefers moist, slightly acidic, well-draining soil. Roses benefit from the addition of compost, aged manure, or leafmold to the planting soil.
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: 6 – 8  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. Do not prune for the first two years after planting. Once established, prune after bloom, removing spent flowering laterals to between 2 - 3 buds of remaining branch.

How To Grow & Care For Climbing Roses

A timeless addition, climbing roses are a garden staple for good reason. Absolutely covered in the most bodacious big, full blooms, rose climbers will transform walls, fences, or trellises into a striking accent you’ll look forward to seeing every year. Here, we explain how to grow and care for climbing roses, as well as answer frequently asked questions about this classic garden staple.

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:

bush distance

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.

Two of the plants are dead

I have tried to submit claims for several dead plants. I can’t figure out how to send the pictures or where to find the order number. I won’t be purchasing from you again as it is too hard to file a claim. I have two dead roses, 2 lavender plants from another order and 2
Coneflowers.

Beautiful rose… sweetly scented. They definitely look like soft clouds. A few weeks old now and I placed in a larger pot until I decide it’s final home in yard.

It's Making Its Move

Received my 1 qt New Dawn Climbing Rose on September 12, 2021 (1 month & 1 week ago). It came evenly clipped (see accompanying pic). It was planted the next day. Now it's starting to exhibit growth. I'm anxious to see to what it develops in the coming spring 2022.

Strong Grower, thriving after a week in transit

I purchased two different climbing rose varieties from GGP and the New Dawn is thriving after traveling for over a week via FedEx from MI to NV. The plants have more than doubled in size in less than three weeks! I just planted in lots of compost mixed with our tough alkaline clay soil and a small amount of systemic rose care fertilizer. This variety did much better than the zephirine drouhin climbing rose. GGP has been very responsive and helpful in resolving any concerns with my plant order and seem to care about your satisfaction. I’m looking forward to seeing these baby plants growing into a large drifts of flowers in the coming years!

Roses are already growing

Wasn’t sure about planting them in Aug - he had a hot dry period of about two weeks. However, the roses didn’t seem to mind with a little watering - they are growing nicely. Glad I ordered and planted then when I did - hopefully this will result in a head start next spring.

Healthy but small own root rose bush

Healthy own root rose bush. My only disappointment is it is quite small. But overall it is healthy with lots of branches and leaves.

We’re sorry you’re not satisfied with your plants! On each product page and our plant sizes page, we note that all of our plants are young. The size of our plants varies depending on the time of year and whether they were recently trimmed. The most important thing when purchasing plants, online or in garden centers, is a full and robust root system, which we prioritize. Trimming only encourages stronger root development! Our fall guarantee covers plants received after September 1 until May 2026, so we have you covered. Please send your order number and pictures of your plants to [email protected] to start the claims process if necessary. We look forward to helping! https://bit.ly/ggp-guarantee

Bought 2, 1 died

I was VERY excited about these. Unfortunately, riiiight after the 60 day mark, one of them went downhill VERY quickly and is no longer with us. The other is just now getting buds and I’m going it my utmost attention to keep it chugging along. It has some pretty good growth going for it and I have no complaints about that one!

It looked ok apart from looking like it had jet lag. Within 2 days I discovered it had mites. N...

Looked ok at first but then 2 days later I discovered webs & mites. None of my other plants are affected, thank goodness. Removed it from other plants & sprayed it with Neem Oil. The jury is still out.

Dissapointing in the small size of the plant. it will take years for it to bloom.

Horrible quality plants

Rose roots arrive terribly small it takes a year for them to become strong enough to flower. Will never purchase from this terrible company. The return policy is such a joke because they sell you such terrible plants by the time the time you want to report the incorrect item or terrible quality it’s too late. Shop at your local nursery instead to avoid getting scammed.

New Dawn is Rising

I bought two New Dawn rose bushes late this summer from Great Garden Plants. They arrived healthy and well packed in a long slender box. Although it seems better to wait for Spring before planting, my young plants quickly established themselves and have almost doubled in height within less than five weeks. They seem to enjoy the cooler temperature and rain in early Fall. I am very pleased.
