HOW TO GROW SUÑORITA® ROSA
This easy care rose defies conventional expectations of what a rose needs to flourish in your landscape. If your soil is naturally rich, that’s perfect. But this rose will also thrive in average soil, too. If you’re planting it in a container, use a high quality potting soil that allows water to drain easily. Roses require full sun to grow and bloom, so choose a spot that receives a minimum of six hours of direct sun per day. If it receives full sun all day, that’s even better. Suñorita® rose will need consistent watering, so choose a spot where the hose or sprinkler can reach. Roses are not drought tolerant plants. When planting, dig the hole about twice as wide but just as deep as the container it is growing in. If the roots are densely circled around when you take the plant out of the pot, loosen them a bit to help break the “root memory”. This will encourage the roots to grow outward instead of continuing in the circular pattern. Set the plant in the hole, making sure that the top of the rootball is level with the top of the surrounding soil. Then backfill the hole with the soil you dug out and press it down with your hand firmly to eliminate any big air pockets around the roots. Water it in to help the soil settle. Finally, spread some mulch around the plant, taking care to keep it a couple of inches away from the base. The mulch will help to retain the soil moisture and protect the roots during winter.

PRUNING Not much pruning will be needed to keep your Suñorita rose looking great. If you need to prune back the tips of the branches after winter, you can do so just as the new foliage begins to sprout in early spring. Be sure to make your cut just above a healthy bud since it will produce the most vigorous growth.
Trim all of the stems back by an even amount to maintain the shrub’s neatly rounded shape. No more than 30% of the length should need to be cut back. When you prune your roses in spring, feed them with a granular rose food. This will help them start the new season off right with plenty of nutrients to support the new growth. Suñorita is a self-cleaning rose, meaning its spent flowers will naturally drop their petals. New flowers will form on the stems whether or not you remove the old blossoms, but you could choose to do so for sake of appearance. |
