Is Now a Good Time to Plant?

Yes! Fall is one of the best times to plant!

Landscaping experts often recommend planting in fall instead of waiting until spring. Here’s why:

  • Cooler weather puts less stress on newly planted trees and shrubs.
  • Fall soil is still warm, which helps roots grow and get established.
  • Cooler temperatures mean less water is lost through the leaves, making it easier for plants to stay hydrated.
  • Even after top growth slows for winter, roots continue developing below ground.
  • Fall weather often brings more rain and less heat, making new plants easier to care for.
  • By spring, your plants already have a head start. Their established roots can support strong new leaves, branches, and flowers.
  • Trees planted in spring must establish their roots while also dealing with rising temperatures and summer heat.

Plant this fall, and your trees can spend the cooler months getting settled instead of waiting until spring to get started!

Planting your Peggy Martin Climbing Rose

Planting Instructions for Peggy Martin Climbing Rose

  1. Choosing the Right Location: Plant Peggy Martin Climbing Rose in USDA zones 4 through 9 in full sun, with at least 6 hours of direct sunlight per day. Pick a sunny spot with good air circulation next to a sturdy trellis, arbor, pergola, fence, or wall. This vigorous climber reaches 12 to 15 feet tall and 6 to 8 feet wide.
  2. Soil Preparation: Give it well-drained soil. Mix compost into the planting area to improve structure and fertility, and loosen the soil over a wide area so the roots can spread quickly.
  3. Planting: Dig a hole twice as wide as the root ball and just as deep, placing the top of the root ball level with the soil. Set the plant about 12 to 18 inches out from a wall or fence so air can circulate and rain can reach the roots, and lean the canes toward the support.
  4. Mulching and First Watering: Water deeply right after planting. Add 2 to 3 inches of mulch over the root zone to retain moisture and suppress weeds, keeping it away from the canes.

Care Instructions

  1. Watering: Water deeply 1 to 2 times per week during the first growing season to help the roots establish, more often in hot, dry weather. Water at the base rather than on the leaves. Once established, it is tough and tolerant of heat and less frequent watering.
  2. Fertilizing: Feed with a balanced rose fertilizer in early spring as new growth begins and again after the first big flush of bloom. Water it in well, and stop feeding by late summer.
  3. Pest and Disease Monitoring: Peggy Martin is disease resistant, but check the leaves occasionally for aphids and black spot, especially in humid weather. Full sun, good air circulation, and watering at the base keep the foliage healthy.

Maintenance and Long-Term Care

  1. Pruning and Training: Loosely tie the long canes to the support as they grow, and train some canes sideways, which encourages more flowering shoots along each cane. Pruning needs are very light: remove dead or damaged canes in late winter, and trim lightly after the spring bloom if you want to control size or shape.
  2. Winter Care: Peggy Martin handles both cold winters and hot, humid summers. In zone 4, add a thick layer of mulch at the base in late fall, and make sure canes are secured so winter wind cannot whip them against the support.
  3. Growing in Containers: It can grow in a large container with good drainage, as long as you give it a trellis or other support to climb. Container plants need more frequent watering than roses in the ground, especially in summer.

Additional Tips for Growing Peggy Martin Climbing Rose

  1. The Survivor Rose: This rose earned its nickname after surviving the floodwaters of Hurricane Katrina in 2005 in a Louisiana garden. That toughness makes it one of the most resilient, low-maintenance climbers you can grow.
  2. Nearly Thornless: The canes are nearly thornless, making it comfortable to handle, train, and prune. It is a great choice near walkways, patios, and entryways.
  3. Repeat Blooms: Clusters of pink blooms put on a spectacular show in spring and continue to rebloom through summer into fall. It is self-cleaning, so no deadheading is needed.

Be careful- Not all Peggy Martin Rose Bushes are the same!

Be sure to get superior rose bushes, trained by experts.

Better Roots Make Brighter Roses: Some nurseries send you "bare root" roses, so they can save on shipping costs. Even worse, others have started digging them right out of the ground before shipping. This causes major transplant shock and long-term damage. We only send you strong, potted Peggy Martin Roses- ensuring a well-developed root system that will explode with vibrant growth and color!

Trained to Grow: We've been training your rose bushes to grow up on a trellis since they were young. We've done the hard part for you!

Not all plants are created equal

The Difference Is in the Roots

Every plant we ship has grown in a nursery container with its roots protected, so it arrives healthy, established and ready to thrive in your yard.

A full, branched Nationwide Plants tree in a nursery pot next to a thin bare-root tree with exposed roots Ours: container grown Theirs: bare root
Nationwide Plants Other Nurseries
How it's grown Grown in a nursery container, roots protected the whole time Pulled or dug from the field, tearing fragile roots
How it arrives Arrives in its pot with soil intact Arrives bare root, exposed and drying out
Before shipping Growing naturally until it ships Held dormant in a cooler, then shocked by a hot shipping box
Root health Strong, well-developed roots with room to grow Crammed into a small pot until it's root bound
Height Measured from the top of the soil Often includes the pot and roots
After planting Settles in quickly with less transplant shock Arrives stressed and can take years to recover, if it does

The height you see is the height you plant.

We measure every plant from the top of the soil, not the bottom of the pot. Many nurseries include the pot and roots, so a "5–6 ft." tree from them might stand only 4 ft. tall once it's planted.

Comparisons reflect common practices across the online plant industry, not any single company.

Honest Measurements: Some nurseries measure plants including the pot and roots, so the plant you receive is much smaller than you expected. We measure all of our plants from the soil line, so the height you see is what you can expect after planting.

From our nursery to your door

How We Ship Your Plants

Every order is hand-selected, watered and carefully packed so it arrives healthy and ready to plant. Here's what happens after you place your order.

  1. Hand-Picked for You

    Our team selects the best plant available for your order. For privacy trees, that's the tallest and fullest. For fruit trees, it's the best branched.

    Why it matters: Many online nurseries ship whatever is next in the row.

  2. A Deep Drink Before the Trip

    Every plant gets a thorough watering right before it's packed, so it starts the journey fully hydrated.

  3. Roots Sealed In

    We wrap the pot and roots in plastic to lock in moisture, so your plant has water to drink all the way to your door.

    Why it matters: Bare-root plants are often shipped with their roots exposed and drying out.

  4. Braced for the Ride

    Cardboard inserts are secured inside every box to hold your plant in place, so it won't slide, tip or get damaged in transit.

  5. Shipped Only by FedEx

    We ship your trees exclusively with FedEx. We've found they deliver the fastest and handle live plants the most gently.

And if anything goes wrong, every plant is backed by our 1 Year Warranty.

Healthy Roots Make a Huge Difference

  • Never buy bare-root plants. These trees are starved of nutrients, and have a low survival rate.
  • Beware of nurseries cut corners by growing in small pots. These "rootbound" plants are weak, struggle to absorb nutrients, and die quickly after planting.
  • Some nurseries try to sell oversized plants, but chop off vital roots so they can cram the rootball into a narrow box to save on shipping!

You Want Peggy Martin Roses Grown by Experts

Some nurseries ship small, weak climbing roses grown in tiny pots to save money. These "root bound" plants struggle after planting and take longer to climb and bloom well.

Nationwide Plants only sends you strong Peggy Martin Roses, selected and cared for by our plant experts, with healthy, developed root systems. That means they settle in quickly and start covering your trellis with clusters of pink blooms sooner.
