Voted Rose of the Year 2011, Rosa 'Joie de Vivre' is a compact, repeat-flowering floribunda (cluster-flowered) rose, bearing old-fashioned cream-pink, double flowers from summer to autumn. Leaves are dark green and glossy.
Its compact habit and long flowering potential make Rosa 'Joie de Vivre' an ideal choice for the front of the herbaceous border or in a large pot.
For best results, deadhead spent flowers and feed fortnightly with a potash-rich fertiliser.
