Additional Features: Hardy to USDA Zones 5-11, thrives in full sun with well-drained soil; highly resistant to black spot and powdery mildew, requires minimal spraying or chemical treatments; self-cleaning variety with petals that drop naturally, eliminating the need for deadheading; ideal for slope stabilization, border edging, mixed perennial fillers, or container planting; strong root system helps prevent soil erosion and anchors the plant securely; attracts bees, butterflies, and other beneficial pollinators throughout the long blooming season; light early-spring pruning maintains optimal shape and vigor.

Care Instructions: Plant in full sun in well-drained soil. Water deeply once a week during the first growing season; established plants are moderately drought tolerant. No deadheading required — spent blooms drop naturally. Prune lightly in early spring, cutting back by one-third to encourage vigorous new growth. Fertilize in early spring and again in midsummer with a rose-specific or balanced fertilizer. Good air circulation helps prevent disease.
