Description

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.

Care & Use

Getting Started: Understanding Your New Plant

Review your plant's information on our website or the tag that comes with it. Be mindful of sunlight preferences, soil type, and spacing needs.

Planting Instructions

Dig a Hole

First, dig a hole three times the width of the root ball of your plant. This makes it easier for the root system to spread out quickly. Dig the hole deep enough that your plant will sit level with or slightly above the ground around it.

Amend Your Soil

Mix your native soil with rich gardening soil to provide extra nutrients and support plant growth. If your soil is clay-heavy, we recommend mixing your native clay soil with equal parts of Pine Bark mulch to improve drainage and the overall breathability of your soil.

Place Your Plant

Examine the roots. If they appear tightly bound, gently coax them apart; this ensures they can spread into the new soil. Place your plant in the hole so the top of the rootball is even with the surrounding soil—Backfill around it with the amended soil mixture. The roots need access to oxygen for your plant to thrive, so do not cover the rootball; place soil around it.

Mulch Your Plants

Top the soil beneath your plant with 3-4 inches of mulch to help it retain moisture. Be careful not to cover the rootball - your new plants roots need access to oxygen.

Water Your Plant

Soak the plant with a hose afterward to hydrate the plant, as well as get the soil and mulch situated. Develop a regular watering schedule based on your plant's needs and local weather patterns. Remember, over watering is just as, if not more, harmful than under watering.

Spacing Recommendations
