Sunsprite Floribunda Rose Care

To really get the best from this rose, it should be grown in a sheltered spot in full sun. As with all roses, this Floribunda prefers to be grown in rich and fertile, but free-draining soil. After planting, this rose will require watering every few days until it has become established. After establishing, this rose requires a weekly watering to keep the soil moist. To help keep this rose in tip-top form and flowering all summer long, a rose-specific fertilizer can be applied as directed. 

Any damaged or dead growth can be removed at any time of the year. Annually prune in late winter or early spring, removing up to two-thirds of the plant by cutting just above a bud. Sharp and sanitized pruning shears are advised to help prevent disease.

Sunsprite Floribunda Rose Spacing

At maturity, the Sunsprite Floribunda Rose can reach 3-4 feet tall by 2-3 wide. If planting this rose out as part of a group, a distance of 3 to 4 feet between plants is recommended.
