To plant the hardy climbing rose 'John Davis', choose a suitable exposure: full sun. The recommended soil is: rich and well-drained. Water at the base and allow air to circulate between the branches. Remove dead parts with a clean tool, then prune according to the rose's group. Winter protection depends on its hardiness and the possible presence of a graft union. Water the root ball before planting and ensure water can drain after planting. During establishment, check the soil moisture by hand before watering again.

Allow a width of 2 m (6.6 ft) to plan this plant's space in the garden. The indicated height of 2.5 m (8.2 ft) helps choose its position relative to neighboring plants. Keep access to the base for weeding, checking moisture, and removing damaged parts. Combine this variety with plants whose light and water needs are compatible. If you are considering a container, first check that its volume and drainage are suitable for root development. Potted roots are more exposed to cold than those planted in the ground.
