The Sunset Happy Trails™ Rose is a Groundcover Rose that spreads and fills fast for a fun, bushy, and colorful garden bed.

It grows in a trailing, spreading habit and holds cup-shaped, decorative double blooms. How fun to see these colorful flowers from late spring through to fall! Hardy in USDA growing zones 6 to 9, these modern Rose bushes are so easy to grow and completely fuss-free!

Tips for Care:

Groundcover Roses do prefer full sun and quick-draining, but rich, moist soil. Provide a site with good air circulation for best results with a 3-4 inch thick layer of mulch as top-dressing year-round. Water regularly, but once established, these Roses can be a bit drought tolerant. Prune in the very early spring, before you see new growth. This gives your shrub a fresh flush of new growth each spring while maintaining a neat, tidy shape.
