Growing & Maintenance Tips for Rosa Elizabeth®

Roses need at least four hours of direct sunlight daily to thrive, though they can still do well even against a north wall. To reduce competition for resources, plant roses 3 feet from other plants and 2 feet from other roses. Avoid very windy spots, as strong winds can destabilize the plant; firm the soil or use a stake if necessary. Prune in late winter/early spring, when the first growth is beginning. It is ok to prune earlier, but it can be more difficult to identify the less healthy stems that you will want to prune out.
