    Blooms early summer to frost. Likes well drained, moist soil but is tolerant of most soil conditions. Moderate to fast growth habit. This rose does not need to be sprayed like many other rose varieties. This variety is not suitable for small gardens. It is a landscaping rose for covering large areas. Fertilization will help increase blooming. Apply a controlled release fertilizer in early spring. Pruning is usually not needed, but may be trimmed in spring.

    • Does well for me in 2 Vermont locations. I've had for 3 years, and it keeps getting bigger & better. Keeps blooms through most of the summer. Love it!

    • This plant grew like crazy the first year. When March came and the snows melted this plant was green with leaves and buds. This is a great ground cover.
