How to make somebody a rose-addict? Show them polyantha/patio roses (the botanists are in disagreement as far as naming the groups). These roses are low maintenance but still breathtaking low, cluster-flowered shrubs. They bloom from end spring in several phases until the frosts. In mild winters they can have buds and occasional flowers yet in December.
Description of the plant:
Seafoam rose has numerous pure white semi-double or double flowers from late spring/early summer until early autumn. Most varieties are more disease-resistant than other rose types and even in fungi-prone periods keep their healthy leaves. They require almost no care apart from removing old flowering shoots. Pruning or clipping, if necessary, is possible in early spring. They are soil adaptable, for best results however plant them in deep, fertile, moist but well drained soil. They grow slowly, forming a low, dense shrub. Fully hardy.
