Ground-cover Rose Pheasant

A floriferous, ground-cover rose, Rosa Pheasant is a rather thorny, deciduous ground-cover rose with a low, creeping, spreading habit, ideal for planting on a bank or other awkward site where weeding is difficult. The abundant, divided foliage has finely toothed, ovate, glossy, mid-green, leaflets. In midsummer, the plant bears clusters of lightly fragrant, semi-double, cup-shaped, long-lasting, clear rose-pink flowers with prominent yellow stamens; there is some repeat-flowering over the summer. Ground-cover rose Pheasant is a robust, healthy rose, with excellent disease-resistance.
