PRUNING
Prune and remove dead growth in spring. Prune with sharp clean shears. Cut the roses on an angle above an outward facing bud. Direct the cut to the outside of the plant to encourage denser growth. In spring trim canes to 6-8", remove dead damaged and crossing canes first.
Can be planted in the ground or grown in a container.
Requires winter protection if temperature drops below 20F (-7C)
Winter Care of Ground planted tree
Dig Patio Rose Tree out of ground. Wrap entire tree in burlap (do not remove stake). Dig trench length of tree out from the hole where tree sat. Lay tree down into trench. Cove root ball and trunk with 4" of dire. In spring, just remove dirt, burlap and replant into hole.
Winter Care of Container Grown Tree
Move Patio Rose Tree to garden shed or garage and water monthly.

Remove old blooms as they fade.
Plant in a location that enjoys full sun and remember to water moderately. Keep in mind when planting that Intrigue is thought of as hardy, so it can be safe to leave outdoors for the majority of winter (although if in doubt, using a row cover is often a good idea). Planting Intrigue in loamy soil with a ph of between 4.5 and 8.0 is ideal for as it does best in moderately acidic soil to weakly alkaline soil.Hybrid variety. Will not reliably grow true to type from seed.
Water
Water thoughly after transplanting. Water daily for several days, then weekly. Newly planted roses requrie additional water until established.
As Intrigue is hardy, ensure temperatures are mild enough to plant out - wait until after your last frost date to be on the safe side.Not to be confused with the Kordes bred ‘Lavaglut’ which is also known as ‘Intrigue’.
