Rosa 'SPIcup' is a compact rose variety that emits a delicate fragrance. It blooms from late spring through early fall, showcasing flowers in various shades of pink, with deeper pink centers. Its compact growth habit makes it ideal for smaller garden spaces, as well as for use in containers or planters. As it matures, it spreads close to the ground, making it an excellent option for ground cover. Additionally, its size makes it suitable for indoor cultivation as a houseplant.

Like most roses, it's important to provide adequate spacing around the plant to promote air circulation, which helps reduce the risk of disease.

Ensure that the plant has proper drainage, as it cannot tolerate standing water.

Pruning should be carried out in late winter, once the danger of severe cold has passed.

For further details about Rosa, please refer to additional resources.
