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. Plant into well-prepared ground, firm the soil around the roots and water deeply to settle it in.
Watering & feeding
Seduction 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 Seduction Rose after flowering to keep it compact and encourage the next flush of blooms. Overall 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 a cohesive, low-care bed, pair Seduction Rose with other plants that enjoy the same regular, moderate watering and warm-temperate climate. Repeat it through a border to tie the planting together and give a sense of rhythm.
