Rosa Hot Chocolate ('Wekpaltez') (PBR)

rose Hot Chocolate (floribunda)

Voted 'Novelty Rose of the Year 2006' by the National Rose Society.

• Position: full sun
• Soil: fertile, humus-rich, moist, well-drained soil
• Rate of growth: average
• Flowering period: July to September
• Flower colour: brownish red
• Other features: glossy green foliage
• Hardiness: fully hardy
  
  From early summer rusty orange buds open to warm, smokey-brown roses, which have a good scent. They appear in trusses continually throught the season above the handsome, glossy foliage and look particularly good in 'hot' themed borders. As they are reasonably compact, they are also suitable for growing in a large pot on a sunny patio.
  
  
• Garden care: Plant during a frost-free spell, incorporating well-rotted organic matter and a balanced fertiliser into the planting hole. Ensure that the 'bud union' (the bulge at the base of the shoots) is approximately 5cm (2in) below the soil.
  
  All our roses are field grown. In October/November they are dug up and potted. However, they will not produce any new roots until spring, so don't be surprised if the compost falls away from the roots when winter planting. Some suppliers send out 'bare root' plants unpotted, but we don't as it is easier to manage them on the nursery in pots.
  • Eventual Height: 0.9m
  • Eventual Spread: 0.5m
