This rose tree bears magnificent flowers that are 4 to 5½ inches (10 to 14 cm) wide when they unfurl. The dark green of its leaves particularly highlights its flowers.
Pretty hardy, it is disease-resistant. It’s a vigorous grower, so you’ll have to prune it regularly to keep it at a manageable size; on the upside, you can also let it spread and take up more volume!
To boost blooming, give this bush rose fertilizer during the growing season.
