FAQs

Will my rose bush have flowers when it arrives?

Not necessarily. Depending on the time of year and our pruning cycle, the plant may arrive without blooms, but it is healthy and ready to grow.

Why shouldn't I plant these where other roses were grown?

Roses grown in the same spot for a long time can deplete specific nutrients and potentially harbor soil-borne pests or diseases known as rose sickness.

What is the best time of year to prune?

For best results, these roses should be pruned annually between September and April while the plant is dormant.

Does it need full sun?

Yes, full sun is recommended for the most vigorous growth and maximum flower production, though it can tolerate other aspects.

Can I use these for indoor vases?

Absolutely. The Iceberg rose is specifically noted for its long stems, making it an excellent choice for cutting and indoor arrangements.

Troubleshooting

Plant is not blooming upon arrival

This is normal, especially outside of peak season. Ensure the plant is in full sun and well-watered; it will bloom once established.

Slow growth after planting

Check that the soil is not depleted from previous rose plantings and ensure the plant is receiving at least 6 hours of full sun.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

When your plant arrives, ensure you choose a planting location with well-draining, nutrient-rich soil. Avoid areas where other roses have been grown in the past three years to prevent 'rose sickness'. Dig a hole large enough to accommodate the root system comfortably, place the plant, and backfill with high-quality compost or topsoil. Water thoroughly immediately after planting and maintain consistent soil moisture during the first few months. Annual pruning is essential; conduct your primary maintenance between September and April to keep the bush structured and healthy for the upcoming season.
