Planting: These roses thrive when planted in full sun, so check out our planting blog to make sure you are planting your shrub correctly.
Watering: Both roses do best when the soil is kept evenly moist. Be sure to watch our video on watering for the best tips and tricks to keep it hydrated all season long.
Fertilizing: High Voltage and Sweet Fragrance don’t require fertilizing, but they will benefit from it. If you want to apply, be sure to use a granular, well balanced, slow-release fertilizer. Apply once in spring when you see green leafy new growth and be sure to follow the directions on the package. To learn more, watch our video on how to fertilize in spring.
Pruning: Easy Elegance® roses require very little pruning to thrive. Once your roses are established, we recommend pruning in early spring to remove any dead, damaged, or crossing stems.
With an upright vase shape and a mature size of 4-5’ tall, High Voltage is a great option for adding structure to the back of a garden vignette. Thanks to its bright yellow blooms, it also has no problem acting as a focal point wherever it is planted. High Voltage is sure to stun anywhere in your landscape.
Give the walkway up to your front door some sweet-smelling love with Sweet Fragrance! The smaller, more compact sizing of Sweet Fragrance makes it a versatile planting option throughout the garden. However, we definitely recommend adding it to areas you’ll be able to easily smell!
