Lovely double blooms that keep coming all summer make the Music Box Rose a striking landscape plant. The flowers have buttery yellow centers that gradually fade to light pink along the outer edges of the petals. Flowers bloom from June into September. The flowers are offset by glossy green foliage in a medium-green hue.
This shrub rose has a branched woody structure. Use the Music Box Rose as a focal point in a bed, or create a flowering hedge or border. This cultivar is disease resistant for added convenience and beauty. Grow the Music Box Rose as a perennial in zones 4 through 9.
Music Box Rose Care
This robust bloomer needs full sun and rich, moist, well-drained soil. Roses prefer slightly acidic soil. Water new plants consistently for the first growing season. Established plants need a drink every two weeks or more often during a dry spell. Feed monthly during the growing season using a balanced fertilizer or a product formulated for roses.
Trim the shrub to maintain a good shape and promote more growth. Prune the rose during early or mid-spring to encourage more dense branching and blooms.
Music Box Rose Spacing
The Music Box Rose has a full form and reaches 3 to 6 feet tall and 3 to 5 feet wide. Leave 5 feet of space between plants so air can flow around the foliage.

New Wood
?
"Blooms on" tells you which stems produce flowers, which decides when it's safe to prune.
- New Wood: Flowers form on stems that grow this season. Prune in late winter or early spring without losing blooms.
- Old Wood: Flower buds form on last year's stems. Prune right after flowering. Pruning in fall or early spring removes next year's blooms.
- Both New and Old Wood: Blooms on last year's stems and again on new growth, so it flowers even after a hard winter or a mistimed pruning. Prune lightly after the first flush of blooms.
- When to Prune
