A cross between a full-size groundcover rose and a miniature rose, providing exceptional disease resistance and a manageable size. It is a champion of the Houston summer, holding its deep red color even in intense heat. While adaptable, it requires well-drained soil; it will fail in heavy, saturated clay that doesn't breathe.
Exposure
Full Sun (At least 6-8 hours required for maximum blooming)
Height x Width
1.5' Height x 2.5' Width
Water
Moderate; prefers consistent moisture. Water at the base of the plant to keep foliage dry and prevent fungal issues.
Zones
4 - 11
Fertilization
Apply a balanced rose fertilizer in early spring and again in late summer after the first major bloom flush.
Pruning
Cut back by about two-thirds in late winter/early spring (February in Houston) to encourage vigorous new growth and flowering.
