Know before you buy
No, this variety is self-cleaning. It will continue to produce its apricot-peach blooms from summer through fall without the need for manual deadheading.
The At Last Rose requires full sun, which means at least six hours of direct sunlight every day. Planting it in a spot with less light may result in fewer blooms and increased susceptibility to disease.
Yes, its mounding habit and manageable 4-foot size make it an excellent choice for large containers. Ensure your pot has good drainage and use a high-quality, well-draining potting mix.
One of the primary benefits of this variety is its modern disease resistance. It is specifically bred to resist common issues like black spot and powdery mildew, so you should not need to use chemical sprays.
Because this rose blooms on new wood, you should prune it in the early spring as the new growth begins to emerge. This encourages vigorous growth and ensures a full, healthy display of flowers throughout the season.
The At Last Rose is hardy in USDA zones 4 through 9. If you are in the colder end of that range, it is a resilient choice, though it is always a good idea to provide a layer of mulch around the base in late autumn to protect the roots.
