Plant Care & Growing Tips

Proper care is essential for your Grande Dame Deep Pink Rose Plant to thrive and produce its spectacular blooms. This live rose plant requires consistent attention, but the rewards are well worth the effort. For optimal growth, plant your rose in a location that receives full sun – at least 6 hours of direct sunlight per day is crucial for abundant flowering. Well-drained, humus-rich soil is preferred; amend heavy clay or sandy soils with plenty of organic matter like compost or aged manure to improve drainage and fertility. When planting, ensure the crown (where the roots meet the stem) is level with the soil surface, never buried. Provide 24-36 inches of space around each plant to ensure good air circulation, which helps prevent fungal diseases.

Watering is key, especially during establishment and dry periods. Newly planted roses need watering 2-3 times a week, while established plants require deep watering (about 2 inches) once a week, more frequently in hot weather. Fertilize your hybrid tea rose plant with a balanced rose-specific fertilizer when new growth begins in early spring and again mid-season. Prune in early spring after the last frost to shape the plant, remove dead or diseased wood, and encourage new blooms. In winter, especially in colder zones, mulch heavily around the base of the plant to protect the crown, removing the mulch in spring. This deep pink rose thrives in USDA Zones 5-9, needing appropriate winter protection in the colder end of its range. Good air circulation and consistent moisture are vital for a healthy, floriferous plant.
