• A vibrant, orange-hued shrub rose designed for sunny borders, mixed beds, and container drama. Repeat bloomer with a bright, warm presence and approachable charm.

Growth and Size

• Habit: Upright shrub with a balanced, open form.
• Size: Typically 3–4 ft tall and 2–3 ft wide (about 0.9–1.2 m by 0.6–0.9 m).
• Canes: Sturdy, with glossy dark-green foliage.

Bloom and Fragrance

• Bloom colour: Bright orange to apricot, often with lighter edges or centres for a sunlit glow.

Foliage and Health

• Foliage: Glossy, medium-dark green leaves that provide strong contrast to the orange blooms.
• Disease resistance: Moderate resistance to common shrub-rose issues; good airflow and proper spacing help minimize problems like black spot and powdery mildew.
• Pests: Occasional aphids or mites; monitor and treat early if needed.

Light, Soil, and Water

• Light: Full sun (6+ hours daily) for best bloom and vigour.
• Soil: Well-drained, fertile soil. Prefers slightly acidic to neutral pH (roughly 6.0–6.8).
• Water: Deep, regular watering at the base; keep soil evenly moist but not waterlogged. Mulch to conserve moisture and suppress weeds.
• Fertilization: Feed in spring with a balanced rose fertilizer, and again after the first major bloom flush.

Hardiness and Care

• Hardiness: Suitable for USDA zones 5–9 with winter protection in the lower end of the range.
• Pruning: Prune in late winter to early spring. Remove dead or diseased wood, thin crowded canes, and shape to encourage outward-facing growth.
• Maintenance: Deadhead spent blooms to encourage rebloom; monitor for pests and diseases and address promptly.

Uses and Landscaping

• Ideal for: Garden borders, mass plantings, large containers, and as a colour focal point in mixed beds.
• Design notes: Pair with blues, purples, and silvery foliage for contrast; works well as a standalone highlight or integrated into a vibrant rose border.
