A standout floribunda rose featuring rich, dark red blooms that hold their color even in the intense Houston humidity. This variety is celebrated for its exceptional resistance to black spot and mildew, which is essential for our damp Gulf Coast climate. It stays compact and tidy, making it perfect for smaller garden beds or containers.
Exposure
Full Sun (at least 6+ hours)
Height x Width
3-4' Tall x 3-4' Wide
Water
Regular; prefers well-drained soil. In Houston's heavy clay, ensure the planting site is amended or slightly mounded to prevent "wet feet" during rainy seasons.
Zones
5 - 11
Fertilization
Use a balanced rose food in early spring and again in late summer (avoid heavy feeding in the peak July/August heat).
Pruning
Prune back by about one-third in mid-February to encourage fresh spring growth.
Deer Resistance
Moderate (Thorns help, but deer may eat new buds).
