Choosing the Right Grandiflora Rose For You | NatureHills.com

Grandiflora roses are a cross between a Floribunda and a Hybrid Tea Rose. Grandifloras have long stems with clusters of large flowers on the top and are consistent rebloomers that grow to various shapes and heights and come in a wide range of colors! They are modern Rose shrubs with great disease resistance and pest resistance.
The Grandiflora Rose has similar needs as other roses, requiring the right site with good air circulation, and full sun, regular water access and well draining soil to thrive. Prune off old flower heads to keep the blooms returning all growing season.
Roses get a bad rap for being difficult to grow but it’s not nearly as daunting as you think. For more planting, pruning, and winter care information on Roses, visit our #ProPlantTips blogs on the topic
