Provide moderately rich, well-draining soil, ideally with a slightly acidic to neutral pH range. Water consistently during the growing season, allowing the soil surface to dry between waterings while avoiding prolonged soggy conditions. A balanced, rose-specific fertilizer applied according to label recommendations encourages healthy growth and repeated blooming. Mulch around the base to help regulate moisture and temperature levels.Pruning generally involves deadheading spent blooms to prompt new flowers, along with removing any damaged stems. Light trimming in early spring helps shape the plant and maintain good airflow, which deters disease. If overwintering in containers, protect roots from freezing temperatures or move pots to a more sheltered spot.True Endearment Rose SpacingWhen planting a row or hedge, leave approximately 2.5 to 3 feet between each rose for healthy airflow and balanced growth. For container cultivation, choose a pot around 14 to 16 inches in diameter to provide ample space for root development. Adjust spacing based on personal preference if a tighter display or fuller hedge is desired. True Endearment Rose InformationUSDA Hardiness Zones: 5 – 9Plant Type: Light Exposure: Full Sun (At Least 6 Hours Of Direct Sunlight)Mature Height: 2 – 3 FeetMature Spread: 2 – 3 FeetSpacing: 3-4 FeetHabit: UprightFlower Color(s): RedFlower Description: RedBloom Period: Spring to FallFoliage Type: EvergreenFoliage Color(s): GreenFoliage Description: Dark GreenSeasonal Interest: Spring Flowering, Summer Flowering, Fall Flowering, 3 Season InterestWatering: AverageResists: DiseaseTolerates: HeatAttracts: Bees, Birds, ButterfliesContainer Role: ThrillerUses: Borders, Specimen or Focal PointFeatures: Cut Flowers, FragrantBrand: Common Name: True Endearment RoseOther Name(s): True Endearment RoseScientific Name: Rosa `True Endearment`
