‘Snow Kiss’ is a delightful floribunda rose, celebrated for its amazing flowering performance and pristine white colour. This variety produces an incredible number of smalls to medium-sized, semi-double, pure white blooms that appear in large clusters, completely covering the bush. The sheer abundance of flowers creates a beautiful ‘snowy’ effect, hence its name. It’s a very easy-to-grow, low-maintenance rose with a dense, bushy, and rounded growth habit and healthy, glossy, dark green foliage. ‘Snow Kiss’ has a very light fragrance, but its main appeal is its spectacular visual impact.
Usage This rose is perfect for creating a clean, crisp, and high-impact visual display in the garden. Its compact size and dense growth habit make it an excellent choice for low hedges, borders, or for planting in mass to create a blanket of white. It is also well-suited to pots and containers, allowing you to add a bright and elegant feature to a patio or balcony. The long-lasting blooms are perfect for cutting for a simple, elegant vase arrangement.
Care Tips
- Sunlight: Plant in a position that receives full sun (at least six hours per day). Plenty of sun is essential for encouraging a profusion of blooms and maintaining a healthy plant.
- Soil: Prefers well-drained, fertile soil. It is adaptable to a range of soil types, but for best results, enrich the soil with organic matter like compost before planting.
- Watering: Water deeply and regularly during its first year to help it establish. Once mature, it is quite tough, but it will perform best with consistent moisture during hot, dry spells.
- Fertilising: A light application of a slow-release fertiliser in early spring is generally sufficient. Regular feeding with a liquid fertiliser during the growing season will encourage more frequent and abundant blooms.
- Pruning: Prune in late winter or early spring to shape the bush and remove any old or dead wood. Regular light trimming throughout the flowering season will encourage a continuous flush of new flowers and maintain the plant’s neat shape.
- Pests & Diseases: ‘Snow Kiss’ is known for its excellent disease resistance, but it’s still a good idea to monitor for common rose pests like aphids and scale.
