How long has it been on the market?
The fragrant At Last landscape rose is available in garden centers this year.
Sun/shade requirements
Like all roses, At Last rose likes lots of sun, so choose a site that provides full sunlight for at least six hours a day, good air circulation and well-drained soil. If all-day sun is not available, try to choose a location where they get shade in the afternoon, as it can help prolong the quality of the flowers.
USDA Zones
5-9
Grows to height/width
At Last will reach a height of about 3 feet tall and a width of 3 to 4 feet.
Consumer care requirements
All Proven Winners ColorChoice roses are disease resistant in the landscape, but normal rose disease prevention methods — avoid overhead watering, clean up debris, etc. — are still recommended. Water regularly and trim lightly to encourage abundant bloom. A 2- to 3-inch layer of mulch applied over the root zone will help conserve water, keep roots cool, and encourage rapid root development.
Habit
At Last rose produces a non-stop display of large, sweetly perfumed, sunset-orange blossoms from late-spring through frost. A self-cleaning landscape rose, At Last’s petals fall off when the flowers fade, instead of turning brown and withering on the plant. Glossy foliage and a vigorous, rounded habit make it ideal for use in landscapes and flower gardens.
