About Seduction Rose
Botanically, Rosa 'Seduction' is a moderate-growing shrub in the Rosaceae family. It reaches around 1 m tall and 80 cm wide at maturity, with deciduous foliage. White and pink flowers appear for much of the year.
Where to grow Seduction Rose
Seduction Rose suits warm-temperate, cool-temperate, Mediterranean and subtropical climates and grows best in full sun. It is frost hardy and shrugs off cold winters.
Soil & planting
Seduction 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
Seduction Rose does best with regular, moderate watering. A light spring feed is usually enough to maintain steady growth. For the first year, favour occasional deep watering over frequent shallow drinks so roots move into the surrounding soil.
Pruning & care
Prune Seduction Rose after flowering to keep it compact and encourage the next flush of blooms. Once established, it is low maintenance.
Using Seduction Rose in the garden
Seduction Rose earns its place for a feature or specimen planting, cut flowers for the vase and pots and courtyard containers. It is equally at home in the ground or a large pot on a balcony or courtyard.
Companion planting & design
For easier irrigation and care, group Seduction Rose with species that also favour regular, moderate watering and warm-temperate climate. Leave enough room for the mature spread so neighbouring plants are not crowded out.
Good to know
It is thorny — useful as a barrier, but wear gloves when pruning.
