Performance
William Baffin roses have been growing at the Water Wise Demonstration Garden for many years. They have proven to be very hardy and drought tolerant. They are large plants, so plant them in a space where they will have plenty of room.
Maintenance
Prune out one-third of older stems in late winter each year so the plant will produce new branches. Old branches get woody and don't bloom as much as younger branches.
