How To Grow Cinco De Mayo Rose:
- Select a sunny garden location with enough room to allow this vigorous rose to reach its full size potential. Roses perform best when grown with the maximum amount of sunlight available.
- Like most roses, Cinco De Mayo prefers well-drained garden soil. If needed, amend soil prior to planting with organic compost. Do not use animal manure which can cause tip burns and stunt growth.
- Dig the planting hole slightly larger than the container which the rose was grown in. Work in a handful of slow-release organic fertilizer prior to planting. Stay away from high nitrogen fertilizers such as Miracle-Gro or Scotts. Water well after planting.
- For best flower production water on a regular basis throughout the season. Avoid overhead watering if it all possible, and water in the early morning.
- An own root rose, Cinco De Mayo rose is a vigorous grower, and will reward you with a continual floral display if you deadhead on a regular basis.
- To trim and shape this rose simply use a pair of sharp pruners and prune as needed. Each cut made will result in a more heavily branched rose.
- Apply a liquid kelp organic fertilizer as need during the growing season. Do not fertilize past the end of August to discourage new foliage growth in the fall.
- In the fall, leave spent flowers on to allow the rose to set rosehips which wild birds use as food. Trim back any branches that may be broken during winter storms.
- Hardy to USDA gardening zone 3, no winter protection is needed for this plant.
