This rose is a proven All-Star! HOME RUN is absolutely, positively the best true-red rose with continuous blooms and top level disease resistance to both black spot and powdery mildew. It has a high level of tolerance to downy mildew as well. Plus it's heat tolerant, cold hardy and requires no deadheading. It prefers full sun, and will grow to 3 1/2--4 feet in height and width in your landscape. Like its father (Knock Out®), Home Run® has excellent resistance to black spot. Unlike Knock Out, Home Run is also completely resistant to powdery mildew and has a higher level of tolerance to downy mildew as well.
Here's what you should be doing each month of the year for this plant in USDA Zones 7a, 7b, 8a, 8b, 9a, 9b: Find Your Climate Zone.

March
BUY
If spring has arrived in your area, then it's a great time to get to work on this season's garden! Purchase shrubs after the threat of frost has passed. If you buy sooner, be sure to provide protection to the tender new top growth at night. When choosing plants, don't be shy about popping the plant out of its pot to inspect the roots. The root mass should be free of black, mushy sections and amply fill the container. Remember, the more roots the better!
PLANT
For those of you in warmer zones, plant as soon as the threat of frost has passed and the soil is workable. If the threat of frost persists, be sure to provide protection to tender new growth of the plant by covering at night. HOME RUN thrives in full sun and prefers well drained, moist soiL. Apply a granular slow release fertilizer and water in well. It is recommended to apply 1 inch of water per week during the first growing season and be extra mindful during periods of heat and drought. Once established, HOME RUN has average moisture requirements.
WATER
As a rule of thumb, apply 1 inch of water per week during the first growing season. Be mindful of hot days and periods of drought. Even though HOME RUN is highly disease resistant, it is still good practice to water roses in the morning, so leaf surface has ample time to dry.
PRUNE
Do not prune.
MULCH
Applying mulch around your flowering shrubs in the spring is a great idea. Not only does it look attractive, it keeps roots cool, conserves soil moisture, reduces water requirements, and acts as an effective weed barrier. Spread mulch evenly to a depth of 2 to 3 inches (if replenishing, don't allow build up to exceed 4" in depth). If your shrub is in lawn, mulch a ring between 3 to 6 feet in diameter around the trunk. Be careful to keep mulch an inch away from the shrub's trunk.

October
BUY
Visit your independent garden center now because fall is the best time to purchase shrubs! Here's why: In the spring, a new plant would have to divide it's energy between settling into a new home and growing immediately. In the fall however, the short days are causing the top to go dormant. All the while, the warm soil, that will persist for the coming weeks or months, provides the perfect environment for roots to acclimate. Once spring arrives, the happily established plant can focus on growing and flowering. When choosing plants, don't be shy about popping the plant out of its pot to inspect the roots. The root mass should be free of black, mushy sections and amply fill the container. Remember, the more roots the better!
PLANT
Planting flowering shrubs now is a great time to get a jump on next year's garden! HOME RUN thrives in full sun and prefers well drained, moist soil. It's best too save the application of a granular slow-release fertilizer for spring to avoid the initiation of tender new growth. It is recommended to apply 1 inch of water per week during the first growing season and be extra mindful during periods of heat and drought. Once established, HOME RUN has average moisture requirements.

Applying a winter top-dressing of mulch will provide protection to the roots from severe winter temperatures and frost heaving. Spread mulch evenly to a depth of 2 to 3 inches (if replenishing, don't allow build up to exceed 4" in depth). If your shrub is in lawn, mulch a ring between 3 to 6 feet in diameter around the trunk. Be careful to keep mulch an inch away from the shrub's trunk.
