Thanks to the individuals (for order preparation and shipping), the rose bush I received appears to be healthy. Planted near the same variety, I am now patiently waiting for it to take root...or not?

Description

The 'Mirato' Rose is a fantastic landscape rose, remarkable in that it can form a magnificent ground cover. Its low, dense, and trailing habit is complemented by remarkably healthy, glossy green foliage that provides a beautiful backdrop for its endless flowering. Its semi-double, also shiny flowers display a lovely fuchsia-pink colour. Low-maintenance, exuberant, and vigorous make itself indispensable in the garden, whether in borders, flower beds, or a small hedge.

 

The 'Mirato' or 'Tanotax' rose, created in 1990 by German rose breeder Tantau, is classified as a modern, bushy, and landscape rose. Its clustered flowers come from the polyantha rose, an old hybrid derived from Rosa multiflora and Rosa chinensis. This excellent rose has won multiple awards, including the A.D.R. label in 1993, Rose of the Year and T.G.C. in England in 1992, and Top Rose in the Netherlands. 'Mirato' forms a very dense bush, reaching a height of 60 cm (24in) and spreading out in a trailing dome shape to about 80 cm (32in) wide. Highly floriferous, it produces abundant flowers with 15 to 20 petals, measuring 4 to 5 cm (2in) in diameter, vividly coloured in fuchsia pink, surrounding a centre of golden yellow stamens. The flowers are gathered in generous clusters of 10 to 15. Its deciduous foliage, rarely affected by disease, consists of tiny bright green leaves that cover long thorny stems.

 

The 'Mirato' rose can be used in flower beds, borders, large spaces, or low hedges. It adapts to all soils that are not overly wet and to all climates, allowing it to be welcomed without reservation from the north to the south of our country. It has long trailing branches that work wonders on a slope, where it will cover the ground. When planted en masse, it can also border pathways and accentuate flower beds. For example, it can be paired with perennial geraniums (Geranium Blue Cloud, Anne Folkard, Nimbus, Orion), bellflowers (lactiflora, rapunculoides), catmints, snapdragons, foxgloves, or other Stachys. Left to grow freely, it will form a loosely shaped, blooming, and cloudy bush with a very natural appearance in front of a flower bed composed of flowering shrubs such as abelias, Kolwitzia, mock oranges, elderberries, or shrubby wormwoods.

Planting and care

If you're planting roses, choose a sunny spot with 4 to 5 hours of sun daily. Avoid strong midday rays and harsh winds. Loose, permeable, and humus-rich soil is best. Slightly acidic soil works too, but any soil that's well-worked and rich will do. If planting in a pot, crumble the soil well and use a bottom amendment such as blood, fish and bone. Cover the top of the root ball with 3cm of soil, backfill, and water generously. In dry weather, water regularly for a few weeks. Use special rose fertiliser for better blooms.

Roses may develop unsightly spots at the end of summer, but this is a natural occurrence and doesn't harm the rose's growth.
