Additional Information

'Rosea Plena' is a small, near fruitless, multi-stemmed shrub with beautiful pink and white double flowers. It has an irregular, spreading form that can eventually become too open. Annual and immediate pruning following flowering and constant removal of root suckers will help maintain a better form and encourage increased blooming. Requires well-drained soil. Susceptible to numerous pests and diseases, which can cause it to be short-lived (under 10 years).
