Double Flowering Japanese Rose - Live quart plant Kerria japonica Pleniflora

Description: Kerria japonica Pleniflora - Double Flowering Japanese Rose - quart Mature Height: 6 feet Aspect: half shade to afternoon shade Hardiness Zone: USDA 4 Double Japanese Rose, or Kerria japonica 'Pleniflora' is a popular landscape specimen because of it flowers at a very young age, is fast to establish, and is deer resistant. Stems bloom very heavily in the spring before the leaves emerge, much like Forsythia but the flowers are pom-pom like and more attractive than Forsythia flowers. Plus, flowers will be produced throughout the entire growing season on the tips of new growth all the way until frost, making this one of the longest blooming shrubs available. Plants are quite cold hardy and will often still grow in protected areas in zone 3. If plants freeze back to the ground, they will sprout back from the roots and still bloom that season. Propagating Kerria japonica Japanese Rose Best propagated in winter as hardwood cuttings of new growth, or under mist using softwood cuttings in June. Pruning and Care for Kerria japonica Japanese Rose Plants are best pruned back in late spring or early summer. Flower buds for next spring develop starting in summer and persist until they bloom the following spring, so you want to prune early enough in summer that you don't reduce flowering. You can prune your plant all the way to the ground every few years, or just prune lightly to maintain a specific shape. Flowers bursting from the bare twigs in early spring.

Shipping Information Your plants are wrapped in bundles in plastic bags and strapped in place in their shipping boxes and are mailed using either USPS or UPS. Most states require that all the soil be washed away from the roots for field grown plants which also gives us the opportunity to trim the roots into good form. The tops are pruned as needed depending on the species and size of the tree. Our handling time is 1-3 business days occasionally we skip the day before a holiday since plants will be sitting at the post office anyway.
