Rose Moppet
Notify MeRosa Moppet is a charming miniature rose that produces abundant clusters of soft pink, double flowers from late spring through to autumn. With a compact and bushy growth habit, this free-flowering variety is perfect for adding colour to small garden spaces. Its dark green, glossy foliage provides an attractive contrast to the delicate flowers while offering good disease resistance. Ideal for edging borders, rock gardens, or planting in containers, Rosa Moppet suits cottage gardens, formal rose gardens, and courtyard spaces. It also makes a lovely addition to patios or balconies. Plant in full sun with well-draining, fertile soil and ensure good air circulation. Regular deadheading and light pruning will encourage continuous flowering and maintain a neat shape. Mature size: Reaches approximately 40cm in height and 40cm in width.
Trimming: Prune in late winter or early spring before new growth appears. Remove dead, weak, or overcrowded stems to maintain an open shape. After the first flowering, lightly trim to encourage repeat blooms.
Deadheading: Regularly remove spent flowers to prolong the flowering season. Cut just above a strong leaf node to stimulate further growth.
Fertilising: Apply a rose-specific fertiliser in early spring, then again after the first flowering flush. A late summer feed helps sustain healthy growth and flowering into autumn.
Watering: Water deeply once or twice a week during dry periods, ensuring the soil remains moist but not waterlogged. Newly planted roses need consistent watering to establish strong roots.
Pest Control: Watch for common pests such as aphids and spider mites. Use insecticidal soap, neem oil, or encourage natural predators like ladybirds to manage infestations.
Disease Management: Susceptible to black spot and powdery mildew. Improve air circulation by spacing plants adequately and removing any fallen leaves. Treat with a fungicide if necessary and avoid overhead watering to reduce disease risk.
