Rootstocks that are available in our store should be planted late in spring after the last frost. These plants are not too picky when it comes to the soil type. They prefer moderately compact, fertile, and moist soils - fertilized with compost or leaf soil mix. They thrive in partial shade, although full exposure to sunlight does them no harm. We recommend cutting their large flowers for bouquets, You can enjoy the blooms from July until mid-October.
