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: 1.5 -3 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. There is no need to remove faded flowers because these roses are self-cleaning.
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.
When I first received them, they looked quite sad because they were stressed from the transport; however, after 3–4 months, they started to grow
Pretty!
Just received my rose "Italian Ice" here in Oklahoma! Such a cute baby plant. I'm super excited to see how she grows! To be continued....
My husband and I ordered six Oso Easy Italian Ice Rose plants for Mother's Day gift for his mom who lives in South Carolina. We were just down for a 2-week visit. All had buds and were healthy looking plants. It was a surprise each day of our visit- getting to see the buds bloom into roses. Each plant had multiple roses with none identical in color. Yellows, pinks, whites... Her favorite color is yellow, but she wanted a variety of color for her garden and this fit her request perfectly. She absolutely loves these roses.
The pot was smaller than I expected and the price was higher, the rose arrived with very green, Pink Drift the leaves turn yellow, and the soil had spilled out of the pot
Love it! It is growing well and I love the colors in it.
I bought this roses two years ago. It grow really healthy and beautiful.
Beautiful plants
Bought two Oso Easy rose bushes. Planted in early May and have had 6 roses bloom on one bush and 3 on the other, by the third week of May. I love the way all GGP are packed. Never have had any broken or dead.
Never tried growing roses before. This is gorgeous! Said it was for beginners so I will try not to kill it. So far, so good. Came in great packaging. Very healthy. Already blooming after about 2 weeks! Get this rose. You won't be sorry.
Planted it a week after receiving in the mail and it surprised me with blooms two days later!
These roses are gorgeous! It’s December 21st in Central Texas and they are still putting out buds and gaining size. I couldn’t recommend a plant more!
Arrived healthy and has been growing exceptionally bigger quickly. It has already had a few blooms and is beautiful.
I’m so happy with this Oso Easy Italian Ice rose. Although it is still pretty small (as expected), it looks happy and healthy and has already produced several pretty blooms!
Hardy little guys. Beautiful 🥰

All plants arrived well packed and in excellent shape. Followed the instructions included in the packaging and Voila! Within one week, one of the plants is already blossoming! The colors are vibrant and stunning! So pleased!
Plant was broken when I received it. I still planted the rose bush but it is very small.

I ordered the quart size because the gallon was sold out. It arrived nicely packaged with no damage. It is just very small. There are leaves and I am hoping it grows quickly as many roses do.
My Oso Easy roses arrived in packaging only Superman could open. They were well watered and every leaf was perfect. I was pleasantly surprised. They've settled in and started to push out a little new growth. I'm looking forward to seeing how they'll perform but the quality, price and shipping were excellent.
