Additional Information

'Nearly Wild' is a lower mainenance, Floridbunda rose that produces pink, single flowers throughout an extremely long bloom period (May to frost). Its spreading form makes 'Nearly Wild' good for mass plantings. Susceptible to black spot, but generally not enough to seriously affect the plant. Good cultural practices are important for roses in order to prevent disease and other pests. 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.
