Romantica(R) Ball Gown(TM) (Rosa 'Romantica(R) Ball Gown(TM)') brings old-world romance to your garden with exceptionally full, medium-pink blooms and a classic rose fragrance with soft powder notes. You will love the lush, high-petal-count flowers on long stems for cutting, as well as the upright, showy habit that looks right at home in beds and borders.
Plant your rose where it will receive full sun (about 6-8 hours of direct light) for the best bloom and overall performance. Choose well-drained soil enriched with compost, and space plants to allow air flow. Water deeply and consistently during the first season to establish a strong root system; once established, keep moisture even but avoid soggy soil. A 2-3 inch layer of mulch helps conserve moisture and keeps roots cooler in summer.
To keep blooms coming, feed with a balanced rose fertilizer in spring as new growth begins and again during the active growing season. Deadhead spent flowers to encourage repeat flowering. In early spring, prune out dead or weak wood and shape the plant to promote healthy new canes and an open center. If you garden in colder areas of its range, protect the crown with mulch before winter and remove winter protection gradually in spring.
