Rosa ‘Gold Spice’ is a floribunda (cluster-flowering) rose, bearing masses of small, gold-amber flowers. Leaves are mid-green with a bronze tint, and glossy.
Its compact, bushy habit and long flowering potential make Rosa ‘Gold Spice’ an ideal choice for small gardens, where it can be enjoyed at the front of the herbaceous border, or in a large pot. It may also be grown as a hedge.
For best results, deadhead spent flowers and feed fortnightly with a potash-rich fertiliser.
