Setup, Compatibility & Care

Planting: Choose a location with well-draining soil and plenty of sunlight. Dig a hole twice as wide as the root ball and just as deep. Place the rose in the hole, ensuring the bud union (the knobby part at the base of the stems) is at or slightly above the soil line.
Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist, especially during the initial establishment phase and drier periods. Water deeply but infrequently.
Fertilizing: Apply a general or rose fertilizer in spring and summer to promote healthy growth and abundant flowering.
Pruning: Prune the rose in late winter or early spring to remove dead or crossing branches. This will encourage new growth and better air circulation.
Sunlight: The Purple Rose thrives in areas with abundant sunlight.
