A beautiful blend of classic charm and robust resilience
The James L. Austin™ Rose is a stunning addition to any garden, celebrated for its exquisite blooms and delightful fragrance. Its deep pink petals open to reveal a classic English rose shape, making it a standout choice for gardeners who appreciate timeless beauty. Unlike many traditional roses, this shrub stands out for its exceptional disease resistance, ensuring that it remains healthy with minimal effort. Imagine an abundance of lush flowers adorning your yard from late spring to the first frost, creating a wonderfully inviting atmosphere for both you and any visitors.
One of the truly compelling reasons to plant this rose in your landscape is its versatility. It thrives in a range of settings, from a cozy cottage garden to a more formal arrangement. Whether used as a standalone statement piece, part of a mixed border, or even in containers, this shrub can elevate the overall aesthetic of your outdoor space. Additionally, its fragrant blossoms are known to attract pollinators, contributing to the health of your garden's ecosystem.
Planting & Care
1. Planting: Choose a location that receives at least six hours of sunlight daily. Prepare the soil by mixing in compost to ensure good drainage and fertility. Dig a hole that is twice the width and the same depth as the root ball. Place the plant in the hole, making sure the graft union is level with the soil surface, and gently backfill with soil.
2. Watering: Water the rose deeply once a week, adjusting frequency based on weather conditions. During prolonged dry spells, you may need to water more frequently. Ensure that the soil never becomes waterlogged to avoid root rot. Mulching around the base can help retain moisture and suppress weeds.
3. Pruning: Prune in early spring before new growth begins. Remove dead or damaged wood, and thin out crowded branches to improve air circulation. Aim to maintain an open center for light penetration and air flow, which helps reduce the risk of diseases.
4. Fertilizing: Apply a balanced, slow-release rose fertilizer in early spring, following package instructions for dosage. This will encourage lush growth and abundant blooms. For best results, you can supplement with a liquid fertilizer every four to six weeks during the growing season.
