Rosa × 'Oso Easy Italian Ice®' (Shrub Rose 'Oso Easy Italian Ice®') brings easy, season-long color to beds, borders, and foundation plantings with a compact, mounded habit and abundant blooms. Flowers open in warm pastel tones, often showing soft yellow with pink edging, so you can enjoy a multicolor effect on one plant at the same time. You will get the best flowering and overall performance when you give it plenty of light and steady moisture while it establishes.

Plan on a mature size of about 18-24 inches tall, with a similar spread. That smaller stature makes it easy to tuck into mixed plantings, mass along a walk, or use as a low, colorful accent near the front of the landscape. It also works well in large containers where you want repeat color without constant fussing.

For best results, plant in full sun to part shade. Aim for at least a half day of sun, with more sun generally producing more blooms and a tighter habit. Choose well-drained soil, and water deeply on a regular schedule during the first season. After establishment, water during dry spells, especially during extended heat or when plants are in containers.

Maintenance is simple: remove spent blooms if you want a tidier look, but the plant is suited to low-maintenance landscapes. In early spring, prune lightly to shape and to encourage fresh growth, and feed with a balanced rose or shrub fertilizer per label directions. Add a layer of mulch to help conserve moisture and keep roots cooler in summer.
