Hardy rose 'Champlain'

‘Champlain’ Shrub Rose (Rosa ‘Champlain’). The ‘Champlain’ shrub rose produces an abundance of semi-double, cherry-red flowers in clusters throughout the season. Compact and very free-flowering, it reaches about 80 to 100 cm, with glossy dark green foliage. Hardy and low-maintenance, ‘Champlain’ is an excellent choice for borders, small gardens, or flowering hedges. The indicated mature size is 90 cm (3 feet) in height and 90 cm (3 feet) in width. This plant belongs to the botanical family Rosaceae.

To plant the ‘Champlain’ shrub rose, choose a suitable exposure: full sun or at least 6 hours of direct sunlight per day. The recommended soil is rich, well-drained soil. 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's group. Winter protection depends on its hardiness and the potential presence of a graft union. Water the root ball before planting and ensure water can drain after planting.

Allow a width of 90 cm (3 feet) to plan this plant's placement in the garden. The indicated height of 90 cm (3 feet) helps choose its position relative to neighboring plants. Maintain access to the base for weeding, checking moisture, and removing damaged parts. Combine 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. Roots in pots are more exposed to cold than those planted in the ground.
