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: 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 opened the package, I truly thought it was a joke. 3 tiny twigs with exactly 4 living leaves, I paid $30+ for this pathetic specimen, which I wouldn't have paid $2 for if I had seen it in a nursery. Horrible.
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!

I bought 5 of these as 1 quart size on March 26, 2021. They arrived around 4/6 in fair condition with a few buds but we small and tiny and underwhelming at first sight. I unpacked them right away but couldn’t plant them for about 2 weeks. I did water them them in a nice spot until I could get to them and made sure they had sun.
When I finally planted them mid April 2021 I made sure to put them in a very sunny spot with lots of space and mixed up my soil with some fresh dirt, compost and fertilizer. I also set up a sprinkler with a timer to water them every morning at 5am. They were super tiny little things, but in either weeks or a month I would get a flower or two. Now, after 6 months they are all thriving and have grown about 4-5xs their size and have flowered again and again. It’s amazing to see how well they have performed their first season and how much they have grown. I can’t wait to see them come back in the spring. I also just bought 6 more different kinds of rose bushes from GGP to plant before the first frost - and hopefully they will do just as well. I can’t wait to see I how these do next year and am very optimistic about their life in my garden.. Very very happy with my purchase!!!
Photos of the plants after just 6 months! And the size and scope of the new quart ones I jus got to let you see how tiny they came vs how big they are now. In fact, all but 2 of my GGPs out of 50 before todays arrival are thriving, and they replaced the 2 that were not without question! So now I just bought more. including the 3 little new roses mentioned above, I got a shipment of 23 new plants today! So I’ve bought 73 plants this year now! They are all doing better than even the bigger roses bushes and other plants I have bought locally. Also, planting a quart size plant is so much easier than a gallon or 3! Very happy with this company and the results and the customer service if anything goes wrong.
Very healthy potted plants. Got them in the ground the next day with miracle grow, looking forward the continuing growth and the lovely flowers.
I am growing these in Jamaica! They arrived pretty healthy. When I got them gave them some water and then put them in my garden the day after. They have already started leafing out. They look happy where they are.
I have purchased several plants and have good luck with all of them. They arrived in great shape. Plan to buy more in the spring
