Description
Rose Home Run is a stunning, continuously blooming shrub rose that delivers a bold splash of color from late spring through fall. Its magnificent, fire-engine red blooms stand out beautifully against the deep green foliage, creating a satisfying and polished look in the landscape. Unlike many roses, Home Run is self-cleaning, meaning spent blooms drop naturally, keeping the plant looking fresh and tidy. With its fast growth, tidy form, and season-long floral display, this rose is a showstopper in mixed borders, foundation plantings, or as a statement specimen.
General Care
- Sunlight: Prefers full sun
- Watering: Water regularly after planting to establish strong roots and support continuous blooming; once established, requires minimal supplemental watering except in prolonged dry periods
- Mulching: Apply a 2–3 inch layer of mulch to help retain moisture and regulate soil temperature
- Pruning: Prune in early spring to remove dead wood and encourage vigorous new growth
With its vibrant blooms, fast growth, and self-cleaning habit, Rose Home Run is one of the finest choices for a refreshing and low-maintenance burst of color in the landscape.
