The ‘Gumball Machine’ Rugosa Rose is a vigorous, spreading, and dense groundcover rose, renowned for its abundant flowering and great hardiness. It produces a multitude of single, bright fuchsia pink flowers with yellow centers, reminiscent of the vibrant color of chewing gum, which contrast elegantly with its lustrous dark green foliage. Highly disease-resistant, it maintains a healthy appearance throughout the season. Flowering from early summer until the first frosts, it is ideal for embankments, borders, rock gardens, or mass plantings where it quickly forms a colorful and structured carpet. Adapted to cold climates and easy to maintain, the ‘Gumball Machine’ Rugosa Rose attracts pollinators and brings dynamism and freshness to sunny landscapes.
