Floribunda rose 'Drop Dead Red'

Floribunda Rose ‘Drop Dead Red’ (Rosa ‘Drop Dead Red’). The Rosa floribunda ‘Drop Dead Red’, commonly known as the ‘Drop Dead Red’ floribunda rose, impresses with the intensity of its bloom and the richness of its color. Its compact, dense, bushy habit bears abundant clusters of deep red double flowers with velvety reflections, offering a spectacular visual impact from early summer until the first frosts. Slightly fragrant, they release a sweet and subtle fragrance that attracts pollinating insects and enlivens flower beds. Very floriferous and consistent, this rose ensures a sustained presence in flowerbeds, borders, or group plantings.

To plant the ‘Drop Dead Red’ floribunda rose, choose a suitable exposure: full sun. The recommended soil is: rich, deep, well-drained. Water at the base and allow air to circulate between the branches. Remove dead parts with a clean tool, then adapt pruning to the rose group. Winter protection depends on its hardiness and the possible presence of a graft union. Water the root ball before planting and ensure that water can drain after planting. During recovery, check the moisture by hand before watering again.

Allow a width of 1 m (3 ft) to arrange the plant's space in the garden. The indicated height of 1.1 m (3.6 ft) helps choose its position relative to neighboring plants. Keep access to the base for weeding, checking moisture, and removing damaged parts. Associate this variety with plants whose light and water needs are compatible. If you are considering a container, first check that its volume and drainage are suitable for root development. Potted roots are more exposed to cold than those planted in the ground.
