Planting Guidelines
Planting Guidelines
When planting your rose, dig a hole wide enough and deep enough for the root ball. Best grown in rich, well-drained soil. Added organic matter is suggested. Place rose into the hole and gently break apart the sides of the root ball. Make sure the top of the root ball is leveled with the surrounding soil. Fill hole with soil and organic matter tapping firmly and watering thoroughly.
Winter Care
Winter Care
Before the winter months, apply a thicker layer of bark mulch that will act as a perspective layer. You can also cover your rose with a thin sheet over night when temperatures drop.
Potting & Container
Potting & Container
When potting or transplanting a rose, check the moisture of the potting mix in the container and, if dry, water thoroughly. Use a container of 3 gallon or larger for your rose bush. Add organic matter for best results. Roses may be moved in early spring when dormant.

We bought the rose bush for our niece-in-law and nephew who lost a loved one. The process to purchase was easy and straightforward and I love how it was not shipped to them until it was in season, because it was still winter here in the midwest when I purchased this.It came in the beautiful burlap and we love that if they ever move, they will be able to take this little memory with them.
Dear Amy-
Thank you for taking the time to complete a review. We appreciate your business.
I am certain that your nephew and niece were very appreciative of your thoughtfulness and caring gesture. We hope that this lovely rose bush will continue to provide beauty and happiness in their lives. May each bloom remind them of life, love, laughter and joy they shared with their departed loved one. May the happy memories overwhelm the grief and sorrow they may face.
Thank you again for allowing us to be a part of this special gift.

My loved one received their beautiful rose bush as soon as the season was ready. They were so touched by the generous gift. The plant was beautiful. Bigger than what I had expected. They already planted it in a special spot in memory of their Dad. I would definitely use again, and recommend to friends.

May they continue to heal and feel the embrace of care and love surround them with each bloom .

Dear Laura-
We know there is so much thought put into these special memorial gifts. This is why we are dedicated to excellence. You want to do something and you want it to be extra special. Flowers and cards are always nice, but we always ask "is there something else, something more?" The recipient, I am sure felt that this Red Drift Rose was a perfect way to honor the memory of her mother. It was nice to have been delivered after the initial rush of everything else in the overwhelming sorrow that consumes us in time of grief.

I've always struggled with sympathy gifts for those who have lost a loved one. Flowers die after a week.. and a card is always nice, but sometimes you need more! Seeds of Life is a great and thoughtful gift for any occasion, however, I find it to be the perfect gift for someone who's lost a loved one. To receive a plant or tree in memory of that individual is such a unique and special way to memorialize their life.From what I was told by the recipient, the Blooming Red Drift Rose was safely but beautifully packaged and now looks amazing in their home garden.

This is the 2nd time I have used Seed of Life to send a special plant to someone who has lost a loved one. In both cases, the recipients have said the plants were beautiful. I love the idea of sending plants that can be planted outside & as they grow & bloom, can remind them of their loved one.
