If you think roses are for very proper, formal gardens, think again. This rebel has intense, amazing colour: shades of ruby-red grapefruit, summer sunsets, and those fancy tropical drinks with umbrellas in them. The continuous blooms cover the tidy mound of dark, glossy foliage. This is a wonderful choice for mass plantings or adding unusual colour to mixed borders. Highly disease resistant – no spraying needed. This plant does not need pruning like traditional roses – it will rebloom without deadheading. It may be pruned to shape in spring.
