Care Tip

Plant the rose starter promptly after arrival and water thoroughly once planted. Choose a location with good sunlight and rich, well-draining soil. In hot climates, light afternoon shade can help protect the young plant. Mulching around the root zone helps retain moisture and regulate soil temperature. Minor leaf loss or temporary dormancy during shipping can occur as the plant adjusts to its new environment.

Live Plant Notice

Live plants naturally vary in size, shape, foliage, and appearance. Depending on the season and shipping conditions, plants may arrive dormant, leafless, pruned, bare root, or show minor shipping stress such as wilting or leaf loss.
