Sugar CANDY ROSE®

General information

• ‘Sugar CANDY ROSE®’ (with the variety name Meiconfiz) is a compact, low-growing shrub rose – it belongs to the floribunda or shrub rose group.

• The flowers start with a bright orange colouring and gradually change to salmon pink (“candy pink”) and a lighter pink shade.

• Plant size approximately 40 × 40 cm.

• A dense shrub, suitable for both flower beds and containers on a balcony or terrace.

• Characterised by very good disease resistance.

Growing conditions

Location:

• Full sun or light partial shade. In a sunny location, the flower colours will be more intense.

• Soil – well-drained, humus-rich/fertile; avoid prolonged moisture build-up around the roots.

Planting and care:

• Best planted in early spring or autumn – depending on the climate.

• Pruning: carry out regular rejuvenation pruning in spring; remove spent flowers regularly to encourage further blooming.

• Watering: water regularly during drier periods, but avoid excessive moisture or standing water.

• Fertilising: regular feeding with a special rose fertiliser is recommended from spring until منتصف summer.

Blooming and visual effect

• Blooms from summer (June) until the first frosts — providing long-lasting colour through the season.

• Flower clusters form densely, and the flowers are visible throughout the shrub, creating a “colour fire” effect.

• Leaves are dark green and glossy — aesthetically contrasting well with the flowers.

Other characteristics / advantages

• Suitable for smaller gardens, balconies and containers thanks to its compact habit.

• A good choice for landscaping where a long-lasting flowering effect is needed with minimal care.

• Excellent disease resistance – a major advantage in rose growing.

• A wonderfully colourful flower that starts in an orange tone and gradually turns pink — especially visually appealing.

Is it suitable for the Latvian climate?

Yes — considering that the variety is described as hardy and suitable even for less than ideal conditions, it would also be an interesting choice for a Latvian garden.
