Abraham Darby Rose Bush - Live Starter Plant in a 2 Inch Pot - Beautifully Fragrant Heirloom Rose from Florida - A Versatile Beauty with a Rich Fragrance

Ideal Growing Conditions: Plant Abraham Darby rose bushes in well-drained soil and a location that receives full sunlight to partial shade. Ensure the site has good air circulation to prevent disease. Watering Needs: Keep the soil consistently moist, especially during hot and dry periods. Water deeply at the base of the plant to encourage healthy root development. Pruning Practices: Prune Abraham Darby roses in late winter or early spring to remove dead or weak branches and shape the bush. This encourages new growth and improves flowering. Support and Training Options: Due to its heavy flowers, consider training Abraham Darby as a climber by providing support such as trellises or arbors. Alternatively, allow it to grow as a bushy shrub with minimal pruning. Winter Care: While generally winter hardy down to USDA zone 6, provide additional protection in colder climates with mulch or burlap wraps around the base of the plant to insulate against freezing temperatures.
