More information
This spreading, low-growing bush rose is typically classed as a groundcover rose. Red Blanket also performs well in containers, where its spreading habit is suitable, and in mix-borders. The flowers are pale crimson, semi-double, with a white central eye, bright yellow stamens, and white streaks on the red portions of the petals. They form in loose clusters of 5–20 on a freely flowering, small shrub. Shoots are very prickly; foliage is small and dark. A vigorous variety that reblooms abundantly, it is suitable for almost any site and tolerates poor soils.
Despite a relatively long introduction period, the Red Blanket variety remains widely distributed in Russia. This fragrant cultivar is suitable for raised carpet plantings. The large, muted light-red blooms present against the foliage. Blooming is abundant and persistent, especially the first flush. Bushes reach about 70 cm in height, with sturdy shoots up to 1.2 m long that arch but do not rest on the ground. Foliage develops in due season; winter hardiness is high.
