About Crepuscule Rose
Rosa 'Crepuscule' is a fast-growing climber in the Rosaceae family. It reaches around 3.5 m tall and 2.5 m wide at maturity, with semi-deciduous foliage. Orange and yellow flowers appear for much of the year.
Where to grow Crepuscule Rose
Crepuscule Rose suits warm-temperate, Mediterranean and subtropical climates and grows best in full sun and part shade or morning sun. It is frost hardy and shrugs off cold winters.
Soil & planting
Crepuscule Rose does best in free-draining and loamy soil. Dig in plenty of compost before planting, water in well, and mulch to keep roots cool.
Watering & feeding
Crepuscule Rose is regular, moderate watering. A feed in spring with a balanced fertiliser keeps growth strong. In its first year, water deeply once or twice a week to settle the roots in, then taper off as it establishes.
Pruning & care
Prune Crepuscule Rose after flowering to keep it compact and encourage the next flush of blooms. Overall it is low maintenance.
Using Crepuscule Rose in the garden
Crepuscule Rose earns its place for a feature or specimen planting, its fragrance and cut flowers for the vase.
Companion planting & design
For a cohesive, low-care bed, pair Crepuscule Rose with other plants that enjoy the same regular, moderate watering and warm-temperate climate. Group three or five together for impact rather than dotting single plants through the garden.
Good to know
It is thorny — useful as a barrier, but wear gloves when pruning.
