Roses
Rosa 'Sevilana'
Sevilana Rose
Rosa 'Sevillana', also known as La Sevillana, is a shrub rose that produces clusters of fiery orange-red semi-double blossoms from late spring into the fall. The blooms, with a soft, mild fragrance, are set against glossy bronze-green foliage that remains clean and attractive as the season progresses. Rose hips often follow flowering, adding autumn interest, while the bushy, upright growth habit supports a lush display that draws pollinators and enhances garden borders or mass plantings.
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. Shrub roses need only light thinning, keeping their natural full shape and repeat bloom.
