Breeder's notes:
In zones 2 and 3, place the crown of this rose two inches below grade. Spring pruning to within an inch or so above ground encourages stronger basal growth and heavy flowering. Resist temptation to leave significant old wood in which a myriad of small fine stems will then be produced.
