Rosa 'True Perfume' (Shrub Rose 'True Perfume') brings classic rose fragrance to your garden with large, ruffled, bicolor blooms in pink with a pale reverse. You will get the best flowering and strongest growth by planting it where it receives full sun and has good air circulation.
Set plants into rich, well-drained soil and water deeply to establish. Keep soil evenly moist during active growth, then water when the top few inches begin to dry. A 2-3 inch layer of mulch helps moderate soil temperature and reduces splashing on foliage; keep mulch a few inches back from the canes.
At maturity, expect roughly 24-48 inches in height and about 24-48 inches in spread. In colder climates, protect the crown with extra mulch in late fall. In spring, remove winter-damaged wood and prune to an outward-facing bud to maintain an open habit and encourage fresh flowering stems.
Feed with a rose fertilizer during the growing season and remove spent blooms to encourage repeat flowering. Pair this rose with low perennials or groundcovers that do not crowd the base, leaving room for watering and airflow around the plant.
