Little Gem is an uncomplicated rose which, however, doesn't show spectacular growth. For five years now she has got a little bigger every year, and in June she shows her beautiful deep rose-red flowers amid lovely healthy foliage. Then the spectacle is over. I planted her with other roses, which then take over from her with their blooms. The growth habit is rather spreading and broad, with long arching shoots. She suits a natural setting better than a very structured one, unless she is kept in check in masses or in combination with other once-flowering old roses of similar habit in a box edging.Automatically translated · Show original
