Landscape Notes: A great rose for a great performer. An unusual shade of red-orange with a coppery cast. A 6" bloom or two will fill a room with intoxicating fragrance. An upright, bushy repeat blooming plant with rich, green foliage.
Exposure/Culture: Prefers moist, slightly acidic, well-draining soil. Roses benefit from the addition of compost, aged manure, or leafmold to the planting soil. To keep the flowers coming, feed your roses with a fertilizer blended especially for roses. This can be done after each bloom cycle. Spread a layer of composted manure, compost, or shredded leaves over the base of the plant in late fall after the ground freezes. Covering these mounds and the lower parts of the bushes with evergreen boughs will add protection. Pull the mounding material away from the stem as new growth emerges in spring. Prune injured branches over when new buds emerge in spring.
Other Notes: This Southern beauty is drop-dead gorgeous and almost larger than life. Cheerful and extravagantly fragrant with vibrant, lipstick-red color – what else would Dolly need? A show-stopping Hybrid Tea in the garden.
