Is Now a Good Time to Plant?
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!

How we measure your trees
When you order a 5–6 ft. tree, you get a tree that's 5–6 ft. tall above the soil, not "including the container." You'll know what to expect when it arrives, and what it will look like in the ground.

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.
Ours: container grown
Theirs: bare root| Nationwide Plants | Other Nurseries | |
|---|---|---|
| How it's grown | Nationwide Plants: Grown in a nursery container, roots protected the whole time | Other Nurseries: Pulled or dug from the field, tearing fragile roots |
| How it arrives | Nationwide Plants: Arrives in its pot with soil intact | Other Nurseries: Arrives bare root, exposed and drying out |
| Before shipping | Nationwide Plants: Growing naturally until it ships | Other Nurseries: Held dormant in a cooler, then shocked by a hot shipping box |
| Root health | Nationwide Plants: Strong, well-developed roots with room to grow | Other Nurseries: Crammed into a small pot until it's root bound |
| Height | Nationwide Plants: Measured from the top of the soil | Other Nurseries: Often includes the pot and roots |
| After planting | Nationwide Plants: Settles in quickly with less transplant shock | Other Nurseries: 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.
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.
-
Step 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.
-
Step 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.
-
Step 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.
-
Step 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.
-
Step 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 Roseum Pink Rhododendrons Grown by Experts
Frequently Asked Questions about the Roseum Pink Rhododendron
How big does a Roseum Pink Rhododendron get?
A Roseum Pink Rhododendron typically grows 6 to 8 feet tall and 6 to 8 feet wide, with a dense, rounded habit. That size makes it an excellent choice for foundation plantings, woodland gardens, mixed shrub borders, and informal evergreen privacy screens around the yard.
How cold hardy is the Roseum Pink Rhododendron?
The Roseum Pink Rhododendron is very cold hardy, handling temperatures down to about -25 degrees Fahrenheit without damage. It grows in USDA zones 4 through 9, performing especially well in northern gardens where many other rhododendrons struggle with harsh winters.
When does Roseum Pink Rhododendron bloom?
Roseum Pink Rhododendron blooms in late spring, covering the shrub with large clusters of trumpet-shaped pink flowers with a subtle lavender tint. The display lasts for weeks and attracts bees and butterflies, set against deep green, leathery evergreen leaves that look good all year.
How much sun does a Roseum Pink Rhododendron need?
Roseum Pink Rhododendron prefers partial shade but can tolerate morning sun. Avoid deep shade, which reduces flower production, and protect it from hot afternoon sun in warmer regions. Filtered light under tall trees or on the east side of a home is ideal.
What soil pH does a Roseum Pink Rhododendron need?
Roseum Pink Rhododendron grows best in well-draining, acidic soil with a pH between 4.5 and 6. It is more tolerant of different soil types than many rhododendrons, as long as drainage is good. Amend heavy clay with organic matter and avoid spots where water pools.
How often should I water a Roseum Pink Rhododendron?
Water a Roseum Pink Rhododendron consistently during its first year so roots establish. Once established, it is relatively drought-tolerant but benefits from occasional deep watering during dry spells. A 2 to 3 inch layer of mulch around the base retains moisture and keeps roots cool.
When should I prune a Roseum Pink Rhododendron?
Prune a Roseum Pink Rhododendron lightly right after it finishes blooming. Remove spent flower clusters to encourage better growth, and shape the plant only if needed. Minimal pruning is required, and pruning later in summer risks removing next year's flower buds.
When should I fertilize a Roseum Pink Rhododendron?
Fertilize a Roseum Pink Rhododendron in early spring, before new growth begins, using a fertilizer for acid-loving plants. Avoid over-fertilizing, which can lead to excessive leafy growth at the expense of flowers. Follow the product label rates for the size of your plant.
Is Roseum Pink Rhododendron toxic to pets?
Yes, Roseum Pink Rhododendron is toxic to dogs, cats, horses, and people if eaten. Rhododendrons contain grayanotoxins that can cause vomiting, drooling, weakness, and heart problems. Plant it away from areas where pets or livestock might chew on leaves, and contact a veterinarian if ingestion occurs.
Can Roseum Pink Rhododendron be used as a privacy screen?
Yes, Roseum Pink Rhododendron's dense evergreen foliage makes a good natural privacy screen. Since each shrub grows 6 to 8 feet wide, spacing plants about 5 to 6 feet apart lets them knit together into a continuous flowering hedge within a few seasons.
