Earth Song has beautiful, dark-pink blossoms that look like
a florist' rose. The lightly fragrant blossoms are produced
in clusters on this rose from mid summer to frost. The blossoms
make great cut flowers. We love how this rose looks in full
bloom and think that it lives up to its charming name. It
has upright, compact growth to about 3-feet tall and wide
and is winter hardy to the crown in northern Zone 4. It does
best with a light protective covering over the crown in the
winter in very cold climates.

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.
