More information
Officially classified among the “plaited miniature” roses, but Nozomi is more widely grown as a groundcover rose. Shoots are covered with clusters of small single flowers of delicate pink, reminiscent of apple blossom. Although it flowers only once and has no fragrance, many modern groundcover roses trace descent from it in one way or another.
The variety remains popular in cultivation. Traits include single flowers and a compact bush. Sometimes called the smallest of the groundcover roses, it is suitable for containers. Its creeping growth habit and zigzag stems also suit rock gardens and Japanese gardens. Bred in Japan. The petals are pearly pink, narrow, darker on the reverse, with a cluster of golden stamens in the center. Blooms only once. Occasionally small red hips appear. The foliage is very fine, dark, glossy, with fairly good disease resistance.
Although the foliage and flowers are tiny, the plant has long shoots, so it is classed as a miniature “pleached” rose. The flowers appear in large clusters for most of the summer; they are single, pearly pink, star-shaped. Thanks to its spreading habit, Nozomi is suitable for hanging baskets, planting at the edge of a retaining wall or a low support. The rose can be planted in a mixed border. When grafted onto a standard, it forms a weeping crown. The variety is winter-hardy enough for cultivation in the north and also does well in southern gardens.
