This attractive, reliable shrub that looks like a groundcover reaches 2'-2.5' tall and 3' wide. Coral colored flowers cover the plant from spring through fall. Deadheading not necessary except to reshape the shrub in spring. This rose prefers full sun, acidic soil, moist, fertile, well draining soil. It's great for borders, perennial beds, containers. Flowers are not fragrant but a show stopper!
