This
is one of the few Miniatures to win the Award
of Excellence for Miniature Roses, and it is one
of the most versatile of the entire class. It
has cascading style of growth and the ability
to cover itself in flowers over and over again
through the growing season. A mature plant of
'Red Cascade' is truly a spectacle to behold,
with its hundreds of deep Ruby red 1.25 inch double
blooms.
'Red
Cascade' will easily grow into a weeping shrub
of at least four feet wide and 3 feet tall. In
warmer climates it can reach dimensions rivaling
any full-sized Climber, up to 12 feet if trained
on a support. There is a pleasant fragrance at
times, but it is best described as “light'.
Its true merit is its vigor and generosity of
bloom. An excellent cascading landscape shrub
which is perfectly at home in the Modern Ground
Cover classification as well. Amazing in large
tubs or cascading down a rock wall.
We
plant Red Cascade as a groundcover on slopes,
to trail over a wall, or to climb a fence or trellis.
Also outstanding when grown in a hanging basket. |
