Planting Directions
<h2>How to Plant and Care for a Peggy Martin Climbing Rose</h2> <h3>Planting Instructions</h3> <ul> <li><strong>Location:</strong> Choose a sunny spot with at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily. Ensure the soil is well-draining.</li> <li><strong>Soil Preparation:</strong> Enrich the soil with compost or well-rotted manure. Aim for slightly acidic to neutral pH (6.0-7.0).</li> <li><strong>Planting Time:</strong> Early spring or fall is ideal when the weather is mild.</li> <li><strong>Digging the Hole:</strong> Dig a hole about twice the width of the root ball and just as deep. For bare root roses, make a mound of soil in the center of the hole to spread the roots over.</li> <li><strong>Planting:</strong> Place the rose in the hole, ensuring the graft union (the swollen part where the rose was grafted onto the rootstock) is about 1-2 inches above the soil line. Backfill with soil, firming it down gently as you go.</li> <li><strong>Watering:</strong> Water thoroughly after planting, ensuring the soil is evenly moist.</li> <li><strong>Mulching:</strong> Apply a 2-3 inch layer of mulch around the base to retain moisture and suppress weeds, keeping it a few inches away from the stem.</li> </ul> <h3>Care Instructions</h3> <ul> <li><strong>Watering:</strong> Water deeply once a week, more frequently in hot, dry weather. Focus on the root zone, avoiding wetting the foliage.</li> <li><strong>Fertilization:</strong> Feed with a balanced rose fertilizer in early spring, after the first bloom, and again in mid-summer.</li> <li><strong>Pruning:</strong> Prune in late winter or early spring. Remove dead or damaged canes and thin out older wood to encourage new growth.</li> <li><strong>Support:</strong> Train the canes along a trellis, fence, or arbor as they grow, tying them loosely with garden ties.</li> <li><strong>Disease Prevention:</strong> Peggy Martin is disease-resistant, but regular cleaning of fallen leaves and good air circulation helps prevent problems.</li> </ul> <p>With proper care, the Peggy Martin Climbing Rose will reward you with beautiful, pink blooms from spring through fall.</p>
