How to Grow Cape Diamond Rose
Train as a small climbing rose or add to your garden, Cape Diamond, as with all own root roses, is easy to grow and care for. Here are a few tips to successfully growing Cape Diamond rose.- Plant Cape Diamond in a full sun exposure with well-drained garden soil.
-
Prior to planting, amend the soil if necessary. Excavate a planting hole several inches larger than the container size of the rose.
- With sharp pruners, trim back any weak branches and remove all flowers prior to planting.
- Remove the rose from the pot and lightly tease the roots to stimulate new root growth once planted
- Sprinkle a handful of all-purpose, organic slow release fertilize in the planting hole working the fertilizer into the soil. Place the rose in the hole and fill any spaces with topsoil. Water thoroughly.
- During the summer, remove flowers that have bloomed out to keep Cape Diamond blooming.
- Hardy to zone 3, Cape Diamond likes the cold weather, therefore no fussing over this hardy rose come winter. As an extra precaution, we suggest pruning back any long canes that maybe break in winter storms and watering the rose just prior to the first freeze of the season.
- In the spring, trim the rose for shape once new buds have appeared, and after the last hard frost of spring has passed.
Other hardy, own root roses that you may also enjoy are Julia Child, Ebb Tide, Iceberg and Living Easy.
