Plant Profile: Rosa 'Loving Touch'

Rosa 'Loving Touch' is a compact shrub rose that thrives in temperate climates. Reaching a height of just 3 feet, it is classified as a miniature rose. The blooms, which are a rich apricot color and double in form, emit a delightful fragrance and are excellent for cutting. While it flourishes in sandy loam soil, it can also adapt to clay soil to a certain extent.

Regular pruning is advisable for this rose. By trimming away old canes, as well as any damaged or dead wood and crossing canes, you can enhance air circulation within the plant, thereby reducing the risk of disease. Additionally, new growth following pruning will lead to an increase in flower production.

For container-grown plants, it is important to protect them from frost.
