Roses
Rosa 'Candy Cover'
Candy Cover Floribunda Rose
Rosa 'Candy Cover' is a floribunda rose producing abundant blooms throughout the season featuring petals mottled with white and vivid pink streaks that run through each flower. The semi-double blossoms emerge in small clusters from late spring through fall, carrying a soft, sweet fragrance that quietly perfumes the surrounding foliage. Glossy dark green leaves form a tidy carpet under the floral display while the rose's low, spreading habit makes it ideal for mass planting, edging, or flowing over slopes and retaining walls.
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. Floribundas bloom in generous clusters, and light shaping keeps the framework rounded and full.
