Rose Cambridgeshire – Groundcover Rose

A pretty, repeat-flowering ground-cover (procumbent) rose, Rosa Cambridgeshire was bred by the famous German firm Kordes. It’s a low-growing deciduous, shrub rose with a compact, bushy, spreading habit, very few thorns and glossy, mid-green divided leaves. Almost continually from midsummer to autumn, pointed buds open to clusters of semi-double, multi-coloured flowers in shades of pink, yellow, cherry-red and scarlet; the scent is light. This is a good rose for planting on a bank, where it’s difficult to weed. Ground-cover rose Cambridgeshire is very resistant to disease, and is small enough to be grown in a pot in rich, soil-based compost.
