Rosa ‘Growing Hope’ is a floribunda rose, bearing masses of deep red flowers with an incredible fragrance, throughout summer. It’s the perfect choice for growing at the front of a sunny border, particularly when grown with tropical-looking plants such as dark-leaved cannas.
For best results, grow in fertile, moist but well-drained soil in full sun to partial shade. Prune in February, cutting back plants from one-half to three-quarters.
Rosa ‘Growing Hope’ was launched in 2006 to help the Cystic Fibrosis Trust charity.
