Cultivating Information

Plant this rose in a spot that gets at least 6 hours of sun

per day and in soil that drains well.

Amend the soil in the planting hole with plenty of composted manure and mix in some blood meal and bone meal as well.

Always dig the planting hole 2 feet wide and 1 foot deep, so the feeder roots will grow faster. They grow wide rather than deep.

The 'Champlain' looks wonderful in a mixed border where it will provide color all season, long after your perennials have stopped blooming, provided that you removed spent flowers as the fade.
