Rosa Everglow Ruby

Rosa Everglow Ruby is a floriferous, radiant, easy-to-grow plant that is perfect for adding colour to a patio or small garden without requiring much maintenance. Its abundance of tightly packed small red flowers with white centres create a remarkable bi-coloured effect on the plant. The bush is rather compact, adorned with elegant shiny green foliage. It provides a constant display throughout summer, whether in pots or in the ground. 

Rosa Everglow Ruby 'Geus1713' is a very recent Dutch creation. It belongs to the floribunda group of roses, and grows on its own roots. It quickly forms a well-branched bush with thorny stems, reaching a height of 70cm (28in) with a spread of about 50cm (20in). It is covered with dark green foliage composed of small shiny leaflets with toothed edges. Its flowering is abundant and continuous from June to September if the soil remains somewhat moist in summer. Its small corollas are single, composed of 5-6 concave petals, grouped in clusters. The petals, ranging from scarlet red to pure white at the base, open to reveal a small cluster of yellow stamens. They wither without producing fruits, self-eliminating without the need for pruning. The deciduous foliage is absent in winter.

Rosa Everglow Ruby is a robust plant that adapts to all soils that are not too dry. However, it prefers fertile soils rich in humus and deep. Its upright and compact habit is perfect for container cultivation. It can also be planted in large borders or in a shrub bed. It can be planted in groups of 3 plants, arranged in a triangle, in the centre of a small bed. It pairs well with light or opulent perennials, or with other dwarf roses such as 'Bee's Paradise', R. Bordure Blanche, or R. Bordure d'Or, according to your preferences. It can also be combined with perennial geraniums (Geranium 'Blue Cloud', G. 'Nimbus', G. 'Orion', G. 'Rozanne'), campanulas, nepetas, snapdragons, digitalis, or carnations. It is naturally perfect for decorating a patio or balcony, planted in a beautiful pot, large planter, or trough.
