GROUNDCOVER ROSE - Rose Bush Bonica is a bushy, spreading, small shrub rose bush that produces sprays of lightly scented, light pink, semi-double flowers around 6cm in width. This colourful pink flowering outdoor rose plant in a 3L pot repeats from summer to autumn and is weather and wind resistant, ideal for growing in UK gardens. It is ready for planting outdoors now.
LOW MAINTENANCE - This deciduous ground cover rose loved by pollinating insects in particular bees and butterflies, is very low maintenance and ideal for growing in a variety of locations including city, courtyard and cottage style gardens in patio pots, containers, rockery alpine beds or borders.
GROWING CONDITIONS - Rose bush Bonica can grow to a height and spread of between 50cm-125cm in full to partial sun in rich, fertile, moist, well draining soil. It copes in a sheltered or exposed sunny planting location in a variety of soil conditions.
ONGOING CARE - To prune, start by removing all dead, diseased, damaged, weak and spindly shoots, reduce strong shoots by about one-third and if they become too large and congested they can be renovated by pruning to near ground level, 10cm from the base in late winter

Watering Water deeply after planting and keep the root zone consistently moist while the rose establishes. Once established, water thoroughly during dry spells, directing water to the base rather than over the foliage. Container-grown roses dry out faster and should be checked regularly in warm weather.
Best Growing Conditions Grow in sun or partial shade in fertile, well-drained loam. Choose a position with good airflow and enough space for the plant to reach its mature size. Mulch after planting and keep the root zone free from prolonged waterlogging, particularly through winter.
