How to Sow and Plant

Stratify seeds by refrigerating them in a damp paper towel for 4–6 weeks to break dormancy.


After stratification, soak seeds in lukewarm water for 12–24 hours to further aid germination.


How to Grow


Transplant seedlings outdoors after frost danger has passed. Plant in well-drained, fertile soil with full sun to partial shade. Space at least 10 feet (3 m) apart to accommodate vigorous growth. Provide sturdy support like trellises or pergolas as the rose matures.

Tips


Prune in late winter to remove dead wood and shape the plant. Mulch around the base to retain soil moisture and protect roots. This rose tolerates shade better than many climbers and is exceptionally hardy once established.
