This low-growing, spreading groundcover rose boasts a vigorous, cascading habit, creating a stunning carpet of apricot-colored blooms from late spring to frost. Hardy in USDA zones 4-9, it thrives in full sun and well-draining, moderately fertile soil with good air circulation. Its seasonal interest includes glossy green foliage that may develop a subtle yellow fall color, enhancing its ornamental value. The flowers emit a mild fragrance and are followed by small, ornamental rose hips in some regions. With a mature height of 1-2 feet and a width spread of up to 3-4 feet, it is perfect for erosion control, border plantings, or mass plantings. Deer-resistant and relatively low-maintenance, this rose brings warmth to any landscape while handling occasional drought once established.
