The cherry red double flowers will imbue your rose garden with elegance — multiple flushes of beautiful flowers over a long blooming season. As easy to care for as it is elegant, this shrub rose is highly resistant to black spot and can tolerate drought once established. The flowers embody that classic rose form and exhibit a slight, sweet, fruity scent. Foliage is a deep, purplish green. Expect a rounded, bushy habit, maturing at 3 to 4 feet high and wide, making it an appropriate choice as a low hedge or accent. Use behind lower-growing perennials for long season color, from spring to first frost. Can be planted in any number of design schemes, such as in flanking pairs, massed, or as a focal specimen. With all those flowers, you could use for a cuttings garden or feature in vases or in a gorgeous table centerpiece. Can also be grown in pots. Dig a planting hole of 2 feet by 2 feet, with 3 feet of space between plants.
