If you’re looking for a deep, red rose that will reward you with blooms during the entire warm season, look no further. This Paint The Town Rose provides beautiful, many layered bright red blooms. This rose bush adds an element of elegance and romance to any landscape. It can be planted in a border, a raised bed, or even a container as long as it’s properly watered.
This perennial is hardy in zones four through eight. Like most roses, this plant is vulnerable to deer. However, it is disease resistant, and of course, a dream for nearby bees. This would also make a beautiful addition to any cut flower garden, or landscape.
Easy Elegance® Paint the Town Rose Care
This rose loves full sun. It also thrives in moist, well drained soil. If it hasn’t rained recently, be sure to give this rose a bit of water so it remains healthy and strong. To keep the rose flowering as beautifully as the first day you got it, organic fertilizer can be added in the early spring.
Pruning roses is an effort rewarded. Pruning back a rose once the bloom is spent will encourage new stems to emerge from below. Trimming the rose after the season is finished will provide a nice base for new growth in the spring.
Easy Elegance® Paint the Town Rose Spacing
This perennial works wonderfully as a border plant. It has the potential to reach two to three feet high. It grows consistently throughout the season, and it should be spaced two to three feet apart in order to provide enough air flow between rose bushes.

?
"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
- Late winter to early spring, before new growth starts
