An attractive dark red groundcover rose with excellent resistance to disease. Excellent ability to rebloom and continues blooming well into the fall. This is a more vigorous variety that is winter hardy to zone 4 and heat tolerant. Fertilize in spring with slow-release fertilizer for best bloom performance.
Blooms tend to occur in clusters beginning in Spring and rebloom through Fall. Expect these flowers to emanate a mild rosy fragrance as well. They’re quite popular with pollinators, as well as cut flower fans.
The foliage is semi-evergreen to deciduous, meaning that it will fall off in winter and flush back in spring. New growth emerges copper-red and matures to a lush dark-green. Overall, this plant has a notably low mounding/spreading growth habit, rich with glossy foliage.
Reaches a mature size of 2.5–3′ H x 3–4′ W, with only minor maintenance required each year.
Use this variety as a specimen, container plant, hedge, or mass planting.
Grows in USDA Zones 4-11, down to -30° when fully established.
Plant in Full Sun for maximum foliage and bloom potential.
The It’s A Breeze™ Groundcover Rose grows well in rich garden soil with good drainage. Furthermore, it tolerates a wide soil pH range.
Water your new plantings deeply 2-3 times per week to help establish deep root systems. During dry spells, provide water more frequently.
Fertilize with a slow-release rose fertilizer in spring to kick off your year with loads of new growth and bountiful blooms.
Prune back by 1/3 in late-winter/early spring to promote compact, healthy growth.
Space Your It’s A Breeze™ Rose 1-2 feet apart for a seamless planting. Otherwise, Plant your plants 3+ feet apart to leave space between shrubs.

These arrived in north Texas a few weeks ago in great shape due to excellent packaging. I was worried at first because there were so many yellow leaves dropping, but they soon acclimated and now are blooming profusely and are growing unbelievably fast with many branches already leading out. They are in full bloom now and and I enjoy seeing them thru long windows of my house. An excellent planting!!

Plants arrived quickly and well packaged. Watered them right away and let them sit for a few days to adjust before planting. I ordered five It ‘s A Breeze roses 2 years ago and they are thriving and doing well, so decided to add more. Hopefully the new ones will be just as gorgeous. They already have several blooms on them.

Plants arrived well packed. A little concern when many leaves turned yellow and dropped off, but plants seem to have recovered after planting. Blooming nicely.

Arrived well packaged and undamaged. It’s a beautiful plant that began blooming in less than a week and continues to perform! I intend to acquire more and they will make a gorgeous display on my sunny embankment.
