Easy Spirit has shown exceptional disease resistance across the country. 

Growing 3 to 4 feet tall and equally as wide, the Easy Spirit White Rose is ideal for use as a specimen, in groupings or as a colorful hedge in landscape and flowering shrub borders and home foundation plantings. A fine addition to white theme gardens, fragrance gardens, rose gardens, cottage gardens and container gardens.

Suggested Spacing: 3 to 3.5 feet apart for hedges; 7 feet apart for space between plants

The Easy Spirit White Rose is easy to grow in average, moist but well-drained soils in full sun to part shade. As with all other roses, to avoid powdery mildew, morning sun is a must to dry dew from the leaves. Afternoon shade or filtered sun is fine. We suggest 6 hours of direct sun light for best flowering.

Maintenance is minimal with no pruning required, though the plant can benefit from it. An annual pruning in late winter, at which time branches can be cut back to about 18 inches above the ground, will result in a fuller plant throughout the growing season. After this hard pruning, your rose will quickly flush out and start blooming with the arrival of warmer spring temperatures. Deadheading spent flowers through the season is not necessary however will encourage more new buds and flowers.
