More information
Prospero is prickly, susceptible to disease, and not a vigorous variety, yet it is suitable for small gardens. Its blooms are large, intensely crimson, with a defined form and a strong fragrance. The flowers have many small, wavy central petals, with bright crimson rosettes that gradually shift to purple pompoms. They are borne on short pedicels, typically in clusters of 3–4, recalling Portland roses. The shrub is compact, with an evenly structured habit and fine, dark green foliage. As the variety is not tall, it is appropriate for containers. It responds well to fertilizer and consistent watering.
Prospero’s clustered flowers are reminiscent of Gallic roses, starting crimson with lilac undertones and later becoming deep purple. The blooms are flat, with small petals arranged in symmetrical rosettes, and are strongly fragrant. Flowering begins in early summer and continues throughout the season. The foliage is matt, dark green. The shrub is branched and upright. Owing to its compact size, it suits small gardens and containers. The plant has a lax habit and requires very good soil to grow well.
