What Rose is
Rose grows as a perennial and reaches around six feet at maturity. It blooms in spring.
How to grow Rose
Rose does best in part sun — at least 4 hours of direct sun a day, on well-drained ground. It needs about 500 hours of winter chill, which is why climate matters as much as soil.

Start the season right
Plant rose in part sun with at least 4 hours of direct sun, once the soil has warmed and frost risk has passed.
Match the soil
Pull a soil test from your local Extension lab to confirm pH and drainage match rose's needs before planting.
Water steadily
Keep the root zone evenly moist through establishment. A 2–3 inch mulch layer holds moisture without waterlogging.
Harvest at its peak
Cut rose blooms in the cool of the morning, just as they open, for the longest display.

Where Rose thrives
Whether rose thrives on a given site comes down to its soil pH, drainage, sun, and frost dates — the conditions that vary parcel to parcel.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I grow Rose in my zone?
Zone data for rose is being finalized. A Growable Ground report checks your parcel's full suitability against federal soil, climate, and zone data.
When should you plant Rose?
Most growers plant rose after the last spring frost, once the soil has warmed. Your local frost dates set the exact window — a Growable Ground report reads them for your address.
How much sun does Rose need?
Rose does well in partial sun — around 4 hours of direct sun, and it takes some afternoon shade in stride. That flexibility makes it a good match for a bed the house or a nearby tree shades for part of the day. A Growable Ground report maps how the sun actually falls on your land, hour by hour, so you can set it where the light lines up.
What soil does Rose need?
Specific pH data for rose is pending. It prefers well-drained ground. A soil test from your local Extension lab confirms what your site needs.
Does Rose attract pollinators?
Yes — rose's flowers are a solid nectar source for honeybees and native bees (Xerces Society, Pollinator Partnership).
Is Rose safe for pets?
Rose is not known to be toxic to dogs or cats based on available data (ASPCA). Always supervise pets around new plantings.
