Rosa 'Mister Lincoln'
Rosa 'Mister Lincoln' has been the quintessential red hybrid tea rose for generations. It has large long-lasting buds and voluptuous ruffled high-centered well-formed blooms with a velvety quality and powerful damask rose fragrance. The ‘Mister Lincoln’ rose is vigorous, tall, ever blooming and proud with long stems and dark green foliage. Excellent for cut flower gardens, single plantings, or in mixed beds. Heat tolerant.
Planting - Roses thrive in rich, sandy loam soil with good drainage and will not tolerate soggy, wet roots. Plant them in a location that receives full sun, with at least six hours of sunlight per day. Adding a rich organic mulch, like Gromulch, around the base of the plant will help retain soil moisture and encourage healthy growth.
Watering - Water regularly until your rose establishes a good root system. Once established, reduce the frequency of watering. The best method is to apply a slow, deep soaking directly at the base of the plant to keep the leaves dry, as wet foliage can lead to issues like powdery mildew.
Fertilizing - Roses require regular fertilization. For the best results, use a balanced rose fertilizer, such as Gardner & Bloome 4-6-2 Organic Rose & Flower Fertilizer, following the directions on the package. Apply fertilizer in early spring when new growth begins to emerge, and again after each bloom period. Stop fertilizing in late fall and resume the following spring.
Pruning - The best time to prune is in late winter or early spring. Pruning improves air circulation, stimulates new growth, and increases foliage density. Remove canes from the center of the bush, along with any weak, crossed, or dead branches. In warmer climates, cut back the remaining canes by one-third of their size. During the flowering season, remove spent blooms, also known as deadheading, to encourage more flowers. Remove any dead, diseased, or damaged branches as needed. Always use clean, sharp pruning shears for the best results.

Q: When is the best time to plant roses?
A: Roses can be planted year-round in most of California, with spring and fall being the best times to plant. In spring, the rose bush is actively growing, while in fall, the bloom season is ending, but the roots continue to grow and have become established by spring, ready to support new leaves and flowers. Watch for frost forecasts in fall and spring, and take steps to protect your plants.
Q: Can roses be planted in the fall?
A: Yes, in most areas of California, fall is the perfect time to plant roses. The milder fall weather and warm soil provide ideal conditions for the roots to become established and ready to send out blooms and new leaves when spring arrives. Although the bloom season may be ending in fall, the roots are still actively growing.
