Thank you so much for your feedback! We are happy to hear tht you are thrilled with your Parade Day rose. However, we want to be sure that you are aware how to care for your rose until you can safely plant it in the Spring. It's important to note that roses stored indoors do not qualify for Our Guarantee. You will want to over winter your rose and here's how.

Overwintering Steps:
Plant roses in a 10 in' container with Organic potting soil that does not contain granular fertilizer. We highly recommend our Heirloom Roses Living Soil or Kellogg's (Organic not Organic Plus), EcoScraps, Fox Farms, or Espoma.

Store the rose in an unheated garage or shed until after your last frost in the Spring. There is not a 'lowest level temperature' that you need to monitor with these roses. Simply removing them from the natural elements allows them to become dormant without the roots being damaged thus ensuring your roses will come back next spring.

Water a little every few weeks only if they start to dry out. If they are wet when you check them, do not water them until they dry out further. We do not recommend growing them inside the home, they will not thrive and eventually die.

If you do not have a garage/shed to store your roses, you can wrap the outside of the pot and the canes in burlap, leaving the top still open so that you can water it or it can get some rain water. You can also make a temporary enclosed space with tarps.

After the last frost has passed in the spring, you can bring your potted roses back outside and plant them. Depending on the temperature difference between the garage and external temperatures, you may need a few days to let them harden off. We recommend that you prune a couple of inches off of the canes to stimulate new growth. You should begin to see new growth within a few weeks and can resume fertilizing every 3-4 weeks as needed.

We hope this is helpful!

Sincerely,
The Heirloom Team
