Planting instructions
Plant Memorial Day Hybrid Tea Rose in a location that receives full sun and has well-draining soil. Dig a hole approximately twice as wide as the rootball and no deeper than the rootball itself. Position the top of the rootball level with or slightly above the surrounding soil, backfill with native soil, water deeply after planting, and apply a 2–3 inch layer of mulch around the base while keeping it several inches away from the stems.
Watering & sunlight
Water deeply at the base when the top 2–3 inches of soil begin to dry. During establishment, this is typically once or twice per week, keeping the soil evenly moist but not soggy. Once established, continue watering deeply as needed, especially during hot, dry weather and while the plant is actively blooming. Watering frequency will vary depending on climate, soil type, rainfall, sunlight exposure, and the plant's establishment phase.

Memorial Day Hybrid Tea Rose grows best in full sun. At least 6–8 hours of direct sunlight daily encourages the healthiest growth, strongest stems, and the most abundant blooms.
Care guide

PRUNING
Prune in late winter or early spring before new growth begins to remove dead or weak canes and encourage vigorous flowering. Deadheading spent blooms throughout the growing season promotes continuous reblooming.

FERTILIZING
Feed with a balanced rose fertilizer in early spring as new growth begins and continue according to the fertilizer's directions throughout the growing season. Avoid fertilizing for the first 2–3 months after delivery to allow the plant to adjust and establish.

WINTER PROTECTION
Memorial Day Hybrid Tea Rose benefits from winter protection in colder climates. Apply a layer of mulch around the base after the ground begins to cool to help insulate the roots, and protect the crown during periods of prolonged freezing temperatures.
