Bean 'Italian Rose'

Plant in a location that enjoys full sun and remember to water moderately. Keep in mind when planting that Italian Rose is thought of as tender, so remember to wait until your soil is warm and the night time temperature is well above freezing before moving outside. Try to keep the ph of your soil between the range of 6.0 and 6.8 as Italian Rose likes to be in weakly acidic soil.

Sow 1.95 inches (5.0 cm) deep with a guideline distance of 3.9 inches (10.0 cm). Soil temperature should be kept higher than 16°C / 61°F to ensure good germination.

By our calculations, you should look at sowing Italian Rose about 14 days after your last frost date.

Ensure that temperatures are mild and all chance of frost has passed before planting out, as Italian Rose is a tender plant.
