Cinnamon Hearts Rose

Rosa 'Cinnamon Hearts'

The Story

Plant Bio

A compact, mounding shrub rose bred for continuous blooming and high disease resistance. It's part of a modern series focusing on landscape performance and ease of care.

'Cinnamon Hearts' is notable for its profusion of small, single, vibrant red flowers with bright yellow stamens, blooming in clusters from summer to frost. The plant is self-cleaning.

Uses & Benefits:

Provides a non-stop show of cheerful, bright red single flowers from early summer until the first frost. Its neat, mounding habit makes it an excellent choice for tidy borders and containers.

Engineered for the modern landscape, it is exceptionally low-maintenance, requiring no deadheading and exhibiting strong resistance to common rose diseases. It's a true 'plant and forget' rose.

The single flowers with open centers provide easy access to pollen for bees and other pollinators, making it a more wildlife-friendly choice than many fully double rose varieties.

Use it as a 'front of the border' plant due to its low, mounding habit.
Water at the base of the plant to keep foliage dry.

Don't
