More information
The cultivar named Aspirin was selected by Bayer to commemorate the centenary of the drug. This low-growing rose is used in varied settings—combining features of floribunda, miniature, shrub, and groundcover roses—and is planted in small gardens as well as in large-scale landscape masses. When barely open, especially in cold weather, the blooms show a pink tinge at the center; later they become pure white. Flowers appear in large numbers in clusters of 2–15, often covering the bush. Petals drop before they wither and turn brown. The plant forms a dense habit, sometimes wider than tall, with fine foliage. The variety shows high disease resistance, with some susceptibility to rust in areas where it occurs. Certified under the ADR system in 1996 .
The relatively young cultivar Aspirin Rose is used both as a floribunda and as a groundcover rose and heads the “City-Flor” series. In sunny weather the flowers are pure white; with limited sun the buds look slightly pinkish. It blooms profusely and almost continuously until late autumn and overwinters under a light shelter.
