    Maintenance Notes: 

    Landscape roses benefit from pruning, but do not need fussy pruning like other types. In spring, just as the new growth begins to appear on the stems, cut each stem back to a big, thick, emerging bud. Remove at least one-third the height and up to two-thirds if you wish. Remove any dead wood.
    Though Oso Easy roses are highly disease resistant, they are not immune to disease. For best performance, plant only in full sun, keep well-watered, and make sure plants get good air circulation (in other words, avoid planting them in corners or closely surrounded by other plants).

    Fun Facts: 

    Where did we get the name Urban Legend®? It's because the flowers on this landscape rose are so bright and so numerous and so persistent, it seemed hard to believe. But this urban legend is true!

    • This plant is entering it's 3rd summer. I planted it from gallon size. It is all of 3 ft now, maybe even a little bigger. It's covered in blooms for most of the season. The first 2 years it was definitely red. This year it's more of a hot pink and red mixed. It's still gorgeous and I love it. I've never had a problem with it.
