Grandiflora Rose Sweet Spirit™ 5 Gallon

Rosa spp.

Grandiflora roses are often placed with Hybrid Teas. They possess the same tall, bushy, upright habit and large, beautiful flowers, but they are formed in clusters on short cutting stems. Many colors and fragrances available. Sweet Spirit™ is a cherry red variety with a strong, sweet fragrance, and it does really well in hot, humid climates. Use in the garden as a tall specimen rose, middle to back border accent, or in a cutting garden. Plant in well-drained, amended soil at least 2-3' apart. Water well after planting; maintain 1" of water once a week the first year. Prune down to uppermost new growth in early spring. 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. Wrap in burlap or spray with Wilt-stop to protect from winter desiccation and mulch the base 4-6" in late November to protect the graft/bud union.
