Comments: Bushy/Spreading Habit Almost continuous bloomer This little cute rose can get big (4 to 8 feet) depending on where you live. This is a major award winner and has become a perennial favorite of professional landscapers. It does need to be deadheaded, though as it is very fertile and forms a lot of hips. If it is not deadheaded, it makes a great winter show when it loses its foliage. Note the "cabbage" form. It shortly disappears and they open up completely. |
