Carefree Beauty blossoms look alot like blossoms usually found on a Hybrid Tea rose. But, unlike Hybrid Teas, this rose is winter hardy in northern Zone 4. Its medium-pink blossoms
have a slight fragrance and are produced all summer. They
make great cut flowers. This rose grows up to 3-feet tall
and about as wide. Carefree Beauty was voted was one of the
easiest roses to grow because of its excellent disease resistance,
so it lives up to its name! It does best when planted in an
area with good air circulation and full sun. The canes usually
dies back to the snowline or crown in northern Zone 4, but
regrow quickly in the spring once established.

What's a "bareroot" plant?
 "Bareroot"
is a term that describes how a plant is shipped to you. A
bareroot plant is not in a pot, and is usually dormant (not
actively growing). See the photo to the right that shows what
a bareroot rose looks like. The bareroot plants that we ship
to you were harvested in the fall and placed in cold storage
over the winter to keep them dormant. In the spring, we ship
the bareroot plants to our customers, from early April through
mid May.
Bareroot plants are easy to grow. We include planting instructions
with your order. When you receive your plant, take it out
of the packing material and place it in a bucket of water
so that the roots are completely covered. Let the roots soak
for 4 to 24 hours, then plant it in your garden. Full planting
instructions with photos are available on our Planting
Roses page.
