Vegetative Growth
6-10 weeksPlant develops bushy structure with strong canes and dark green foliage; increases in size and branching
Continue regular watering; apply balanced rose fertilizer monthly; prune out crossing or weak canes; maintain mulch layer

12-16 weeks or until frostProduces abundant clusters of coral-pink semi-double blooms; flowers appear in waves throughout season with minimal bloom gaps
Deadhead spent flowers regularly to encourage continuous blooming; water consistently; feed with rose fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during season; monitor for pests
Summer Peak
4-6 weeksPlant at maximum bloom production; dense foliage and abundant flower clusters; plant reaches mature compact form
Increase watering during heat; provide afternoon shade in very hot climates; continue deadheading; watch for heat stress and spider mites
Fall & Dormancy
8-12 weeks until hard frostBloom production naturally decreases as temperatures cool; foliage may show autumn coloring; plant gradually slows growth
Reduce nitrogen fertilizer; continue watering; allow hip formation to signal dormancy; prune lightly in late fall; apply 4-6 inches of mulch before winter in cold zones

Harvest Tips
Eve Price is an ornamental shrub rose; cut flowers by making angled cuts just above a 5-leaflet leaf facing outward, using sharp pruning shears. Cut in early morning when stems are hydrated; remove lower leaves before arranging. Deadhead spent blooms regularly to promote continuous flowering throughout the season. Allow some hips to form in fall to signal dormancy.
Fun Facts
- 🌱 Eve Price was named after a British rose enthusiast and hybridizer, representing decades of careful rose breeding to achieve its exceptional disease resistance and continuous blooming habit.
- 🌱 This rose cultivar is a floribunda, meaning it produces flowers in clusters (flori-bunda = 'many flowers'), making it significantly more prolific than hybrid tea roses despite each individual flower being smaller.
- 🌱 Eve Price is renowned among gardeners for requiring minimal deadheading compared to other floribunda roses, as it naturally sheds spent petals and continues producing blooms even without intervention.
