Additional Information

The Oso Easy Honey Bun Rose is a low-growing, mounded plant that produces fragrant, semi-double flowers in a variety of colors, from pale pink, pastel yellow, and creamy white. Although this variant has good disease resistance and is relatively low maintenance, proper cultural practices are still important. Avoid wetting the foliage when watering, place the plant in an area with good air circulation, and remove dead or diseased plant matter as soon as possible. Branches are covered with thorns, making pruning difficult.
