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).

The Oso Easy® Italian Ice’s orange buds open to soft yellow flowers melting into pink blushed margins. The soft flower color is set off nicely by its dark green, glossy foliage, a combination with lots of impulse appeal. Flowers are semi-doubled with 24-30 petals per bloom. This self-cleaning rose has excellent disease-resistance, abundant flowers and a nice habit.
The Oso Easy® Lemon Zest’s canary yellow flowers do not fade to white and really light up against the glossy green foliage. It is free-flowering, producing lots of buds which open to self-cleaning flowers. Excellent disease-resistance.
The Oso Easy® Pink Cupcake is a delicious shade of pink, with a touch of coral. Large flowers pop against the glossy green leaves. The clean, disease-resistant foliage has reddish new growth. Look for up to 20 petals on each flower on this floriferous rose.
