Growth Habit and Care

This Floribunda rose has a medium, bushy, upright growth habit with semi-glossy, dark green foliage. It grows to a height of 4 to 5 feet and a width of 18 to 23 inches, making it suitable for beds, borders, cut flowers, or as a garden centerpiece.

Planting and Maintenance Tips

  • Location: Plant with full sun to ensure healthy growth and vibrant blooms.
  • Watering: Provide regular watering, especially during dry periods, to keep the soil moist but not soggy.
  • Feeding: Use a balanced rose fertilizer for optimal growth in early spring and after the first bloom cycle.
  • Pruning: Prune in late winter to early spring by removing old canes, dead or diseased wood, and any crossing canes. In warmer climates, cut back the remaining canes by about one-third.

Versatile Uses

The White Licorice rose is highly versatile and suitable for various garden applications. Its sturdy stems make it an excellent choice for cut flowers, while its bushy growth habit works well in garden beds and borders. Continuous blooming from spring through fall ensures a steady display of beauty.
