We recommend using EB Stone Organic Sure Start when planting to promote strong root growth and help ensure the health of the plant, and EB Stone Rose & Flower Planting Mix which is specially blended with roses in mind. We recommend using EB Stone Rose & Flower Food to fertilize your rose during its growing season, spring through fall.
- Prune annually around March.
- Fertilize with an organic rose food in late April and again in July.
- Remove spent flowers frequently and spray as needed with Neem to control aphids, black spot and powdery mildew.
- Purple roses tend to be a bit more susceptible to black spot and powdery mildew, so be vigilant; they are worth the care.
