Description

With disease resistance that rivals the Knock Out Roses, and superior heat and cold tolerance (USDA Zones 4-10), the Easy To Please is a modern shrub rose that anyone can grow, anywhere! Just like its name, this super-floriferous floribunda will please from spring through frost with LOADS of clove-scented, classic double flowers with spiraled petals in an unusual fuchsia pink with creamy reverse. Growing 4 to 5 feet tall and 4 feet wide, Easy To Please is clothed in deep green glossy leaves that serve as a nice backdrop for the flowers. With high performance in almost every zone in the U.S. and disease resistance that rivals many ornamental landscape shrubs, this head turner deserves a spot in every garden!

Landscape & Garden Uses

Growing 4 to 5 feet tall and 4 feet wide, the Easy To Please Shrub 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 rose gardens, cottage gardens and pink theme gardens.

Suggested Spacing: 3.5 feet apart for hedges; 8 feet apart for space between plants

Growing Preferences

The Easy To Please Rose is easy to grow in average, moist but well-drained soils 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. We suggest 6 hours of direct sun light for best flowering.

Maintenance is minimal. The Easy To Please Rose does not require pruning or deadheading, but can benefit from it. To keep your rose full and bushy from year to year prune the branches back to about 18 inches above the ground in late winter or early spring. 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.
