Landscape Notes: One of the finest and most popular red climbers. Bright scarlet, 3" semi-double, cupped blooms produced in clusters with a light fragrance set against dark green foliage.
Exposure/Culture: Prefers moist, slightly acidic, well-draining soil. Roses benefit from the addition of compost, aged manure, or leafmold to the planting soil. To keep the flowers coming, feed your roses with a fertilizer blended especially for roses. This can be done after each bloom cycle. Spread a layer of composted manure, compost, or shredded leaves over the base of the plant in late fall after the ground freezes. Covering these mounds and the lower parts of the bushes with evergreen boughs will add protection. Pull the mounding material away from the stem as new growth emerges in spring. Prune injured branches over when new buds emerge in spring. Forget hours spent in your garden pruning and deadheading...the Blaze Rose sets your landscape apart with vibrant roses and pleasant fragrance, all with virtually no upkeep required.
Other Notes: The Blaze is expertly cultivated for the most vivid red color imaginable and a large climbing form that's one-of-a-kind. It delivers heavenly double blooms and strong, adaptable growth in nearly any location, whether it's in a container on your porch or a trellis in your garden.
