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.
The rose arrived looking disheveled. Very hot outside, so I followed the instructions and kept it inside, providing north window light and lightly watering as needed. It lost a lot of leaves, but after a week, it started producing new green foliage. So far so good. Now that nicer temps are here, will transplant outside with my other new roses.
I was really disappointed. The plant did not have a tag and came dead.

Looking fresh..
One year only! I got it last year in April and look at it now!
I love my new rose plants! I followed the well laid out directions and the plants are adapting well to their new environment. Thought I was going to lose one, but I kept following the instructions and it's coming back strong. This has been my best online plant buying experience! Not to mention the extremely awesome prices. You guys and gals rock!
Frangrant and beautiful
Ordered and planted these June 2024. Cannot believe how quickly they’ve grown in 2 short months! They are so healthy. Can’t wait to see them bloom next year. Would highly recommend
I didn't expect to get a huge flowering plant but I certainly expected more than this.
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!

Bought mine in 2017, it is still going strong. One is smaller than the other, but they bloom beautifully.
The smell of this rose is out of this world. I love it. The foliage also makes wonderful greenery in bouquets!
All roses died and I grow many roses in my garden. Very sad about that

The rose not only arrived in a very healthy state, but in a short month’s time, the rose was visibly bigger. I am very happy with this rose and am eager to see its growth come Springtime.
I bought this rose in the spring but although it’s grown a lot it hasn’t bloomed at all So sad
Shrubs do take a bit longer to establish, meaning they will likely not flower on their first year if they're young plants. If you have any questions, feel free to contact us at [email protected] with your order number and photos of the plant. We look forward to helping!
Unfortunately the plant was never able to successfully take root and grow. Sadly a waste of money.

The order took a week for delivery once shipped. The plant looks very stressed. All leaves fell off and dirt was out of the pot. Giving it water and watching it carefully. I have been wanting a Zephreine rose for so long and really hope I can get her to thrive.

plan to grow up trellis, porch roof and porch railing for curb appeal
Very pleased with this rose.
I put my Zephirine Drouhin Climbing Rose in the ground as couple of weeks ago and so far it's doing well. It looks like it's grown a few inches taller and spreading out as it's growing up the trellis. Can wait to see some roses appear!!
Both plants looked terrible and got worse each day

Healthy plant that began to grow immediately after I planted it. It's been in the ground a month and is budding.
The roses arrived as expected and are doing well. Very happy
Very impressed with delivery of the health roses. Very well packaged and ready to grow. They settled in with no worries. Haven't seen a lot of growth yet but firmly believe they will take off soon . I loved the first 2 so much I have ordered 2 more .
