An award-winning cultivar from Altman Plant’s True Bloom series, True Friendship Rose is distinguished by its abundant clusters of double blooms in varying yellow shades from blonde to pineapple. With lustrous, emerald-green foliage supporting the large blooms, True Friendship Rose is an ideal cut flower to add to a garden bed, border, or container. This showy floribunda blossoms from spring until the first heavy frost of autumn, infusing the air with a honeyed fragrance with notes of sugar and spice. Growing to a maximum height and spread of 2 to 4 feet, this compact ornamental is an ideal selection to grow in a container on a deck, patio, or porch.
Tracing its heritage back to Asia and Europe, this floribunda shrub has exceptional disease resistance and is easy to care for. True Friendship is a great option for an active person who has minimal hours of experience in the garden. Its delightful perfume will attract pollinators including hummingbirds and bees. Growing compact and upright, this deciduous shrub makes a fantastic patio rose. Protect its lovely flowers and foliage from deer by planting it with lavender, rosemary, and hellebore.
True Friendship Rose Care
This floribunda rose thrives when exposed to 6 to 8 hours of full sun. Plant True Friendship Rose in a hole that is big enough to hold its root ball. The soil should be moist, rich, and well draining. Apply three inches of mulch in a ring around the rose’s base. Give this rose one to two inches of water per week throughout the growing season. Feed this vigorous, repeat bloomer with a fertilizer containing approximately 4-8-4 NPK once or twice per month throughout the flowering season.
Prune True Friendship in late winter. Remove crossed, dead, diseased, and damaged stems to enable better air circulation throughout the plant and to avert disease. Cut back the length of the remaining canes by about one-third. Trim spent flowers throughout the blooming months.
True Friendship Rose Spacing
A compact shrub, True Friendship thrives in containers, beds, and borders. Space each shrub 2-3 feet apart when planting en masse. Plant it alongside companion plants such as marigold, foxglove, and snapdragons to create beds with varying heights, colors, and textures. Cut the brilliant blooms and combine them with alstroemeria, baby’s breath, asters, eucalyptus, Gerber daisies, and statice to create cheerful, bright bouquets.

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.
