About Bewitched Rose
Rosa 'Bewitched' is a moderate-growing shrub in the Rosaceae family. It reaches around 1.4 m tall and 90 cm wide at maturity, with deciduous foliage. Pink flowers appear for much of the year.
Where to grow Bewitched Rose
Bewitched Rose suits warm-temperate, cool-temperate and Mediterranean climates and grows best in full sun. It is frost hardy and shrugs off cold winters. It also is an award-winning selection.
Soil & planting
Bewitched Rose does best in free-draining and loamy soil. Plant into well-prepared ground, firm the soil around the roots and water deeply to settle it in.
Watering & feeding
Bewitched Rose does best with regular, moderate watering. Feed as new growth begins, following the rate on a balanced garden fertiliser. Keep a newly planted specimen evenly watered through its first season; established plants can then follow the water needs above.
Pruning & care
Prune Bewitched Rose after flowering to keep it compact and encourage the next flush of blooms. For most gardens, maintenance is moderate maintenance.
Using Bewitched Rose in the garden
Bewitched Rose earns its place for a feature or specimen planting, cut flowers for the vase and its fragrance.
Companion planting & design
Bewitched Rose sits most comfortably beside plants adapted to regular, moderate watering and warm-temperate climate. A small cluster gives stronger visual impact than isolated plants scattered through the garden.
Good to know
It is thorny — useful as a barrier, but wear gloves when pruning.
