True Crush Rose (Rosa ‘True Crush’) boasts vibrant, hot coral blooms with more than 50 petals apiece, creating a dramatic focal point in any garden. New foliage emerges in a lush burgundy hue before maturing to a rich, glossy dark green, forming an exquisite contrast against the fiery flowers. Growing 2 to 3 feet high and wide, this compact shrub rose fits neatly into smaller landscapes or containers, all while producing quartered, 3-inch-wide flowers. Though it lacks fragrance, its elaborate blooms and bold color make it a standout option for gardeners seeking a stunning visual impact. Designed to thrive in modern landscapes, True Crush provides easy-care beauty and colorful appeal that lasts through the growing season.
The dense, glossy foliage makes True Crush Rose both attractive and resilient. Native to advanced breeding programs, it resists common rose challenges and adapts well to a range of climates within zones 5 to 9. Its compact form suits borders, foundations, or container plantings, and the striking petals pair well with neutral or pastel annuals for added depth. Use it as a striking accent in a cottage-style bed, line a path for showy color, or spotlight it in a patio container for closer admiration. Its proven reliability and robust nature offer a hassle-free way to bring brilliant coral tones into your garden.
True Crush Rose Care
Choose a site in full sun (at least six hours of daily sunlight) with moderately fertile, well-drained soil. Water deeply after planting and maintain even moisture, especially during dry spells, but avoid soggy conditions. A balanced rose fertilizer or a slow-release formula applied in spring and midsummer encourages vigorous growth and consistent blooming. Adding a layer of mulch around the base helps retain soil moisture and suppress weeds. Monitoring for pests or fungal issues may be needed, though this modern rose generally presents fewer problems compared to older varieties.
Prune in late winter or early spring by removing damaged canes and lightly shaping to maintain its compact habit. If desired, remove spent blossoms to keep the plant tidy and stimulate further bud development. In colder regions, mound mulch around the root zone for added winter protection. When grown in containers, refresh soil periodically, ensure proper drainage, and water more frequently to accommodate its confined root system.
True Crush Rose Spacing
When creating a hedge or row, space each True Crush Rose about 2 to 3 feet apart for adequate airflow and a consistent, unified display. In mass plantings or clusters, a similar distance helps prevent overcrowding and maintains healthy foliage. If planting in a container, choose a pot at least 14 inches wide to give the root system ample space and keep this compact rose thriving all season long.

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.
