Busy Bee is a charming miniature rose that lives up to its name, producing an incredible number of small, perfectly formed flowers in a vibrant coral-pink colour. The blooms, which have a light, sweet fragrance, appear in clusters on a compact, bushy plant. This rose is an exceptional repeat bloomer, providing a continuous show of colour from late spring until the first frost.
With a height and width of about 0.3-0.6 meters, Busy Bee is an excellent choice for containers, rock gardens, small borders, or the front of a garden bed. It is known for its vigour and good disease resistance, making it a reliable and low-maintenance option for gardeners. Its small size also makes it a great candidate for indoor growing in a sunny location.
For optimal growth, plant Busy Bee in a spot that receives full sun (at least 6 hours of direct sunlight a day) and in well-drained, fertile soil. Water regularly to keep the soil consistently moist, especially during hot, dry spells. Pruning is minimal; simply snip off spent blooms (deadhead) throughout the season to encourage new flowers and remove any dead or weak canes in late winter or early spring to maintain its shape.
