Rose Carefree Wonder™ PP#7,783
One of the easiest to grow -- no wonder it won an AARS award!
A 1991 winner of the All-America Rose Selection, and one of the least demanding Roses to grow, it blooms prolifically and maintains its neat, compact habit even if you don't have time to prune it. Carefree Wonder™ gives a showstopper performance of spectacular bloom from spring until frost. Vivid, rich pink on the face of the petal combines with creamy white on the reverse petal to create a mass of bright color on 4-inch semi-double blooms. The gorgeous pink deepens with cooler weather, and the glossy green foliage and orange hips in fall and winter augment the glory of this easy-care Rose. Disease-tolerant and a vigorous grower, it is 3 to 4 feet tall and 3 feet wide, but not leggy. If you desire showy, large blooms, captivating color, and low maintenance, Carefree Wonder™ is a perfect choice! Zones 4-9.

Additional pruning tips for healthy, beautiful, productive roses:- Whether you’re deadheading, removing dead wood, or performing an annual pruning, make sure your cuts are no more than ¼ inch (5 mm) above a bud, and slope the cut away from the bud, to prevent water from collecting on it.
- Your cuts should always be clean, so keep your pruning shears sharp, and use pruning tools that are appropriately sized to whatever size stems you are cutting.
- To encourage an open-centered form, cut to an outward-facing bud. To encourage upright growth on roses with a spreading habit, prune a few of the stems to inward-facing buds.
- Prune any dieback to the healthy, white pith.
- Remove dead or diseased stems, as well as any that cross or are spindly.
- Your goal should be to have well-spaced stems that allow for a free flow of air.
- If pruning an established plant, remove any old wood that is flowering poorly, and use a saw to get rid of old stubs that are no longer producing new shoots.
- Other than climbing roses, you should prune newly planted roses hard, which encourages vigorous shoot production.
- When removing suckers, trace them back to the roots from which they are growing, and simply take them off.
