Planting and Caring for Your Princess Margaret Rose

To help your Princess Margaret rose plant thrive, choose a sunny spot with well-drained soil. Roses benefit from regular feeding with a quality rose fertilizer, especially during the growing season.

Mulching will help retain moisture and suppress weeds, making care even simpler.
