What is the plant

Top Gun Shrub Rose produces clusters of semi-double, rich red flowers and dark green foliage—and it repeat blooms frequently. It also exhibits excellent natural resistance to powdery mildew, downy mildew, rust, black spot and even rose rosette disease. This striking variety has excellent resistance to most major rose diseases, including the devastating rose rosette disease, which puts Top Gun at the top of its class. In several trials throughout the eastern U.S., it was untouched by RRD, while most other varieties showed symptoms of infection.

How to Care for the Plant

Water
With the required inherent cold hardiness or tolerance to extreme heat, certain rose bush varieties can survive exposure to temperatures ranging from -40°F to more than 100°F.
Pruning
The best time to prune roses is in late winter or early spring, around the time new growth begins. This could be as early as January or as late as May, depending on your climate.
Fertilizer
You can also trim back the yellow leaves for a cleaner look.

Sunlight
Roses need a soil that drains well but holds moisture long enough for the roots to absorb it. 1 A loam soil is ideal—too much clay and the roots can become waterlogged, but a sandy soil will drain before the roots can get a good drink.
Soil
Nitrogen, the first number on a bag of fertilizer, is the key nutrient for established roses. Using a higher rate of nitrogen and lower amounts of phosphorus and potassium are best. Examples of fertilizers to use are 27-3-3 or 25-5-5.
Temperature
Most rose bushes need at least six to eight hours of sunlight each day to bloom and perform well. In shaded areas, roses tend to bloom less than roses in sunny sites, and they tend to become tall and spindly.
