How to Grow
Light: At least 5 - 6 hours of direct sun per day is preferred.
Water: One inch of water per week throughout their first growing season. A generous layer of organic mulch (compost or composted manure) helps keep the soil evenly moist. If the weather is dry in the fall, be sure to water roses well. Never allow the foliage to remain wet into the evening; water early in the day.
Spacing: 2.5' - 4'
Fertilizing: To keep the flowers coming, feed your roses with a fertilizer blended especially for roses. This should be done after each bloom cycle. Winterizing: If you live near a rose's cold limit, and you garden on an exposed site or in an area where rapid temperature fluctuations are common, you should mound two shovelfuls of composted manure, garden soil, 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.
Maintenance & Pruning: While not necessary, may be shaped in spring. There is no need to remove faded flowers because these roses are self-cleaning. No spraying is required.
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.
Love these! 2nd summer. One plant is so loaded I may need to brace its limb. 4 plants all doing well.
I ordered two quart size because the gallon size was sold out. They were well packaged but there’s barely any leaves and the stems are still very small and weak. As it is supposed to be a hardy rise, I am hoping they do well. Definitely would have liked to seen more foliage similar to other roses I ordered from Great Gardens.
BEAUTIFUL! Came in healthy and happy!
received the ground cover roses and they were smaller than i expected but planted with my green thumbs crossed they are green and producing buds to bloom thank you
Customer service is excellent, but 2 of my plants died, after careful care and planting with high quality organic soil. Now, my Tidal Pool Creeping Speedwell have died.
If you haven't yet, please email pictures of the plants to [email protected], making sure to put your order number and name in the subject line so that we may provide the best assistance possible. Rest assured, we have a 60-day guarantee on all our plants. If you received your plants within that timeframe, we would be happy to apply your warranty once we receive the pictures. Happy Gardening!

What size, approximately, are the individual flowers? Roughly the same as the At Last rose or?
The blooms on Oso Easy Peasy Rose will grow up to 2 inches when fully open.
I love my Oso Easy Peasy roses and they were covered with flowers in late June ( zone 7) when they died I cut all the blossom filled clusters down to a 5 leaf branch. To clean it up. Now nothing is blooming. Help!
I thought they bloomed till fall. Thank you
Applying a rose fertilizer after each bloom cycle will help the rose to produce more blossoms. For more information on growing roses, check out our blog post all about this beautiful shrub: https://blog.greatgardenplants.com/questions-answered-series-roses-rosa/
