Planting Directions
<h2>How to Plant and Care for the Gumball Goody™ Rose</h2> <p>The Gumball Goody™ Rose is a vibrant, compact rose variety perfect for garden beds, borders, or containers. Follow these steps to ensure healthy growth and abundant blooms.</p> <h3>Planting Instructions</h3> <ul> <li><b>Choose a location:</b> Select a spot with 6–8 hours of direct sunlight per day. Ensure the soil is well-draining.</li> <li><b>Prepare the soil:</b> Amend soil with compost or organic matter. Roses prefer slightly acidic soil (pH 6.0–6.5).</li> <li><b>Dig the hole:</b> Dig a hole twice as wide and as deep as the root ball. Loosen soil at the bottom for root expansion.</li> <li><b>Plant the rose:</b> Place the rose in the hole, ensuring the bud union (where the canes meet the roots) is about 1–2 inches above soil level in warm climates or at soil level in cold climates. Backfill with soil, pressing gently to remove air pockets.</li> <li><b>Water:</b> Water deeply immediately after planting to help settle the soil.</li> <li><b>Mulch:</b> Apply 2–3 inches of organic mulch around the base, keeping it 2 inches away from the canes to prevent rot.</li> </ul> <h3>Care Tips</h3> <ul> <li><b>Watering:</b> Water deeply 2–3 times a week during the growing season. Allow the top inch of soil to dry between waterings. Avoid overhead watering to prevent fungal diseases.</li> <li><b>Fertilization:</b> Feed every 4–6 weeks with a balanced rose fertilizer during the growing season. Stop feeding 6 weeks before the first frost.</li> <li><b>Pruning:</b> Prune in late winter or early spring, removing dead or weak canes and shaping for airflow and structure.</li> <li><b>Container care:</b> Use a container at least 18 inches wide with drainage holes. Water more frequently as containers dry out faster.</li> </ul> <p>With consistent care, the Gumball Goody™ Rose will reward you with colorful blooms all season long!</p>
