Description
A fabulous landscape rose anyone can grow, the At Last Rose has all the beauty and fragrance of the classic fully-petaled tea roses but with super-high disease resistance that keeps the sprayer in the garden shed! From spring to frost you will enjoy sweetly perfumed double flowers in appealing shades of orange to apricot that shine against a background of handsome, glossy, dark green foliage. The flowers are self-cleaning so there’s no need for pruning, unless you want to. A vigorous grower to around 3 feet in height with an equal spread makes the At Last Rose a fine selection for smaller garden spaces or in groupings or as a colorful hedge in larger landscape borders.
Landscape & Garden Uses
Growing to around 3 feet tall and equally as wide, the At Last Rose is ideal for use as a specimen, in groupings or as a colorful hedge in landscape and flowering shrub borders and home foundation plantings. A fine addition to fragrance gardens, rose gardens, orange theme gardens and cottage gardens.
Suggested Spacing: 3 feet apart for hedges; 6 feet or more apart for space between plants
Growing Preferences
The At Last Rose is easy to grow in most any moist but well-drained soil of average fertility and in full sun to part shade. As with all other roses, to avoid powdery mildew, morning sun is a must to dry dew from the leaves. Afternoon shade or filtered sun is fine and appreciated in hot climates. We suggest 6 hours of direct sun light for best flowering.
Maintenance is minimal with no pruning required, though the plant can benefit from it. An annual pruning in late winter, at which time branches can be cut back to about 18 inches above the ground, will result in a fuller plant throughout the growing season. After this hard pruning, your rose will quickly flush out and start blooming with the arrival of warmer spring temperatures. Deadheading spent flowers through the season is not necessary however will encourage more new buds and flowers.
