Rosa Nitty Gritty® Red
Deep red flowers, perfect for small spaces.
A mounding, easy to care for rose with semi-double, red flowers that bloom from spring through summer. Ideal for urban gardens where a manageable size and showy flowers count is important. Lovely in mass plantings, on a slope for erosion control, or in coastal settings, where they are tolerant of salt air.

A low growing, disease resistant shrub rose with semi-double deep red flowers for most of the summer.
Landscape Use
Foundations, cutting gardens, wildlife gardens, borders, and small urban gardens
Pruning
These roses are so hardy, they should need little pruning, but if you see some dead parts with no leaves in late spring, cut back to just above the new growth. Best rule of thumb for timeng is - "When the Forsythia bloom, it's time to prune!"
