Scarlet Groundcover Rose (Rosa) - #2 Container

The Scarlet Groundcover Rose (Rosa) is an early-blooming groundcover rose that typically delivers a long season of red flowers from early spring through the first hard frost. Compact, disease-resistant, and easy-care, this variety offers an extended season of color that enhances any landscape setting.

Material: Main body is a live compact Rose shrub with dense, well-branched framework and glossy, disease-resistant green foliage. Auxiliary includes nutrient-rich nursery potting soil and a well-developed root system for successful establishment. Accessories include a grower container and detailed planting instructions.

Size: Mature height 1–2 ft, crown spread 1–2 ft, staying naturally compact without pruning.

Color: Flowers: red; Foliage: green.

Age Group: Adults.

Additional Features: Hardy to USDA Zones 5-11, thrives in full sun with well-drained soil; shows strong resistance to black spot and powdery mildew under typical growing conditions; self-cleaning variety with petals that drop naturally, significantly reducing the need for deadheading; ideal for slope stabilization, border edging, mixed perennial fillers, or container planting; strong root system helps prevent soil erosion and anchors the plant securely; attracts bees, butterflies, and other beneficial pollinators throughout the long blooming season; light early-spring pruning maintains optimal shape and vigor.

Care Instructions: Plant in full sun in well-drained soil. Water deeply once a week during the first growing season; established plants are moderately drought tolerant. No deadheading required — spent blooms drop naturally. Prune lightly in early spring, cutting back by one-third to encourage vigorous new growth. Fertilize in early spring and again in midsummer with a rose-specific or balanced fertilizer. Good air circulation helps prevent disease.
