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).
