True Bloom by Altman Plants 'True Love' PP28929 Red Rose Bush, 6qt. Pot, Live Garden Roses, Full Sun

True love at first sight is one way to describe the True Love rose. This award-winning patented hybrid patio rose is a breakthrough breed for container roses and ground-cover roses: strongly disease resistant as well as tolerant of summer heat and humidity and winter chill, all while providing beautiful, continual blooms on a compact dark glossy bush form. The double flowers are crimson, and loaded with petals — 85 to 90, packing a lot of floral punch in a small package. Along with standing up well to heat, humidity, and drought, having been put through its paces in a range of climates, this perennial plant exhibits a remarkable resistance against disease and is easy to grow. The foliage is dark and glossy, a handsome backdrop for the intensely colorful flowers. Find True Love a home in a decorative container, planted near the front of a rose garden or in a mixed grouping, or mass it along a foundation. Dig a planting hole of 2 feet by 2 feet, with 2 to 3 feet of space between plants. Roses do best in a well-drained, loamy soil containing organic compost. Water thoroughly after planting and water three times per week after new growth. Plant where it will receive at least six hours of sunlight per day. Feed during spring and summer with a water-soluble 20-20-20 fertilizer. Prune in early spring to rejuvenate plant. If growing in a container, it does not need to be repotted until year three. After year three, it will require a five-gallon or larger container. Cold hardy to Zone 4.
