Camellia Red Red Rose

Camellia japonica Red Red Rose is a hardy evergreen shrub that produces rich red, formal double flowers that add a splash of colour to the garden during the colder months. This evergreen shrub boasts glossy green foliage, accented with red tips on new growth, creating a vibrant contrast that enhances its appeal. With an upright habit, it reaches a mature size of 3m in height and 2.5m in width over 7-10 years, making it a splendid choice for hedging, espalier or as a striking container plant. While it flourishes best in semi-shade, Red Red Rose shows a reasonable tolerance to heat, although it is quite slow-growing, requiring patience to reach its full potential.

Ideal for adding structure and colour to the garden in autumn and winter, Camellia Red Red Rose thrives in full sun to semi-shade locations, preferring a protected climate away from prolonged heavy frost. It benefits from acidic, well-drained soils, ensuring vibrant growth and blooming. This variety is not only a beautiful addition to any garden or landscape for its ornamental value but also attracts wildlife, adding to the biodiversity of the garden space. Despite its need for moist, well-drained soil and sheltered exposure, Red Red Rose does require regular watering to maintain its health and beauty.
