Southern Living - It's A Breeze Rose in 2-Gallon Grower Pot - Live Groundcover Shrub with Red Flowers

The It's A Breeze Groundcover Rose is brand new from the Southern Living Plant Collection! It produces gorgeous dark red, cup-like flowers that have a double petal count. Expect these flowers to repeatedly rebloom throughout the growing season, from Spring until the first frost of the year. It's a dwarf variety that only reaches a very manageable 2.5-3 feet high and 3-4 feet wide at maturity. No pruning required. Once established, this is a drought-tolerant and easy-care variety. The It's A Breeze Rose is hardy from USDA Zones 4-11 and grows best with over 6 hours of direct sun exposure. Water 2-3 times per week for the first season after it's planted. It grows best in slightly acidic garden soil with good drainage. These roses are well-established in 2.5-quart or 2 Gallon pots and are not guaranteed to be in bloom on arrival. They will be approximately 4-8 inches tall and 6-10 inches wide when shipped.
