Pastel peach, pink, and lemon tones melt together on every petal, giving The Champion™ Sunblush Rose a sunrise glow that pops in borders, entry beds, and patio pots. Expect a steady parade of blooms from late spring well into the warm months, each flower carrying a bright, elegant fragrance that draws compliments—and pollinators—without demanding fussy care.
The Champion™ Sunblush Rose Care
Plant in full sun (6+ hours) where air circulates freely. Set in fertile, well-drained soil amended with compost; aim for slightly acidic to neutral pH. Water deeply at the base to keep soil evenly moist—avoid wetting leaves. Mulch 2–3 inches to hold moisture and keep roots cool, pulling mulch back a few inches from the canes.
Feed roses in early spring and again after the first flush using a rose or balanced slow-release fertilizer. Deadhead spent blooms to encourage continuous flowering; prune in late winter/early spring to remove weak or crossing stems and shape a sturdy framework.
Bred for strong disease resistance; good spacing, morning sun, and dry foliage at night further discourage mildew and black spot. (Winter cold protection may be helpful in the coldest zones.)
The Champion™ Sunblush Rose Spacing
In beds or hedging, space plants 3–4 feet apart on center for a full, flowering line. For mixed borders, allow 30–36 inches from neighboring shrubs or hardscape so the rounded habit and blooms are easy to admire and maintain.
In containers, choose a pot 16–20"+ in diameter with excellent drainage; place planters 2–3 feet apart for airflow and easy deadheading.

Plant Addicts Warranty - 1 Year (Extra Purchase Required)
We encourage all plant lovers to purchase the Plant Addicts Warranty, whether you're a new gardener or an expert. There are many variables outside of anyone's control that can cause a plant to die. Hungry animals, drought, poor soil conditions, over watering, diseases & pests are all good examples of what can cause plants to die. The Plant Addicts Warranty is a 1 year warranty protecting you from all of the unknowns and will replace your plant if something were to happen to it.
The warranty is purchased on a per plant basis and must be purchased at the same time as the plant(s). We will cover 100% of the price of the plant, but the warranty does not cover shipping costs. SImply let us know if your plant has died within 1 year of receiving it and we will get you a new one shipped out as soon as possible (depending on the time of the year and availability). We may ask for photos for documentation purposes, but we try to make the process as easy as possible.

Plant Shipping
Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.
Winter to Early Spring
We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.
Summer
If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.
Fall into Winter
We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!
Winter
Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!
Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
