Climbing Rose 'True Gratitude' 2 Gallon

Rosa spp.

Appropriately named for their tall, climbing habit, climbing roses are best grown with support from a trellis, arbor, fence, or other structure where they can be trained vertically or horizontally. 'True Gratitude' has pink deeply colorful and boldly spicy blooms paired with an attractive climbing growth habit. Perfect in sunny rose, cutting, and cottage gardens. Plant in well-drained, amended soil at least 4-5' apart. Water well after planting; maintain 1" of water once a week the first year. Prune lightly in spring when new growth appears, removing dry or winter damaged areas. Feed at least three times (full leaf, after first bloom, and in August) during the growing season with a slow release fertilizer. Follow label instructions. Mulch 2" to suppress weeds, retain moisture and protect against extremes of soil temperature. Spray with Wilt-stop to protect from winter desiccation and mulch the base 4-6" in late November to protect the graft/bud union.
