Sic garden rose plant flower bush deciduous shrub

Picture a rose that earns its place on both the garden fence and your kitchen table. Sic is a garden rose bred for cutting — its blooms hold beautifully in a vase for up to ten days, making it one of the more rewarding roses you can grow at home. Plant her in full sun and water consistently; roses thrive when their roots stay evenly moist rather than swinging between drought and flood. Feed with rabbit or composted chicken or horse manure in spring and fall, and she’ll reward you with repeat flushes of flowers from spring through fall. Bees, butterflies, and beneficial insects like ladybugs and lacewings will find her naturally. A proper cutting rose for gardeners who want beauty that lasts beyond the garden bed. This is a 2–3 year old plant that has already bloomed, so you’re not waiting seasons to see what you’ve got. Growing 9–24″ now with a medium growth rate, it repeats from spring through fall. Plant it where it receives full sun and water frequently — roses reward consistency. Fertilize with rabbit, composted chicken, or horse manure each spring and fall to keep bloom cycles strong. What makes this one worth knowing: it’s self-fertile and genuinely welcomes bees, butterflies, ladybugs, and lacewings, making it a living part of your garden ecosystem rather than just a showpiece. No invasiveness concerns, not toxic to pets or people, and it comes ready to plant with soil included.
