ORDERING BEGINS: MONDAY, AUGUST 18TH @ 9AM

ORDERING DEADLINE: WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 20TH @ 4PM

Peggy Martin roses are low-maintenance, and easy to care for. They are disease resist. Bloom in Spring and Fall. They do not require deadheading to rebloom. They spread 6-15’ tall and wide. Peggy Martin Roses are climbers, so they will need support to grow on like a trellis, fence, wall, or arbor. Plant in well-drained, slightly acidic soil in the full sun. Use a rose fertilizer in the Spring and Fall. You may prune lightly in the late winter to get rid of dead canes and vines to shape. Let the soil dry between regular waterings. While the Peggy Martin rose is drought tolerant, the plant does like supplemental water during extended dry periods.

The classic Southern rose 'Peggy Martin’ Rose is named for an avid Louisiana gardener whose home and property stood under 20 feet of salt water for two weeks after Hurricane Katrina in 2005. One of the only plants to survive was a tough-as-nails beauty of a rose that Martin had acquired through pass-along cuttings from friends in New Orleans.
