Each bloom is a surprise with this striking striped rose—deep maroon red petals streaked and swirled with golden yellow, creating a unique pattern on every flower. Colour variation shifts with the weather, adding extra magic to the display. Bold and eye-catching in the garden, these blooms also make excellent, conversation-starting cut flowers.
Plant in full sun in well-drained soil. Water newly planted roses daily during their first season. Once established (after a year), two deep soaks per week during warm weather will keep them thriving. Apply a soil wetter in spring and again in mid-summer to improve water penetration. Feed every four weeks from late April to early May with a quality rose fertiliser. Prune in winter to encourage healthy new growth, and follow with a lime sulphur spray to help prevent fungal disease. Apply mulch to retain moisture, keeping it clear of the base of the plant.
