Rosa 'Patriot Dream' is a floriferous shrub rose that brings rich salmon to orange-pink color to beds, borders, and foundation plantings. You will enjoy its fruity fragrance on warm days, and the tidy, upright habit makes it easy to fit into mixed plantings without overwhelming nearby perennials.
Give your rose full sun for the most abundant bloom. Plant it in average, moist, well-drained soil and water deeply when the top few inches of soil begin to dry, especially during the first growing season. A 2-3 inch layer of mulch helps keep roots cool and conserves moisture, but keep mulch pulled back slightly from the base of the canes.
To keep it looking its best, prune in late winter to early spring by removing dead or crossing canes and shaping the plant to encourage fresh, bushy growth. Deadhead spent flowers to promote repeat bloom, and feed with a rose fertilizer according to label directions. Mature size is about 36-48 inches tall and 24-36 inches wide, so allow room for good airflow.
