Snow Pavement Rose will bloom best in full sun, but also tolerates shade early or late in the day. Well-drained, average-texture soil with a neutral to alkaline pH is suitable. Watering well the first 2-3 years will help this rose to establish well and become more drought tolerant as it matures. Feeding Roses with a well-balanced, slow-release fertilizer formulated for roses is recommended once in the early spring as the new growth emerges.
Pruning is very easy with Snow Pavement. Early in the spring cut back any dead or dying branches to the ground. Suckers will sometimes pop up and are easily controlled by cutting them out under the soil. Deadheading is not necessary during the summer. Mulching with leaves or compost over the winter will help to enrich and make the soil more moisture retentive in future seasons. Snow pavement does not need extra protection measures for winter in the colder hardiness zones. This Rose handles any cold and snow with ease.
