About this plant
Rosa 'Korpancom' (marketed as Electric Blanket™) is a groundcover rose that produces clusters of salmon‑pink blossoms from late spring through fall. The blooms open in pyramidal clusters of three to five flowers, displaying soft coral tones and a mild fragrance. Glossy, dark green foliage provides a clean backdrop that complements its floral show.
This compact rose was introduced by Jackson & Perkins and is valued for both its repeat blooming habit and landscape versatility. Its growth habit is low to mound‑forming, making it suitable as a groundcover or small shrub. The rose is often used in mass plantings, borders, or foundation beds to offer long‑season color with manageable upkeep.
Planting & care
Roses reward a sunny, open site with at least six hours of direct light, good air movement, and well-drained soil rich in organic matter. Water deeply and less often, soaking the root zone while keeping the leaves dry, and mulch with two to three inches of compost or shredded bark held back from the canes. Feed repeat-blooming roses in early spring as growth starts and again after the first flush, then prune in late winter to remove dead or crossing canes and open the center. Groundcover roses spread low and wide, needing little more than a spring tidy.
Where to see it
This plant can be seen at the Woodland Park Rose Garden.
