Archimedes
This rose forms single, warm red flowers. The heart of the flower is white and allows the striking yellow stamens to come into their own. The flowering is lush and extends from June to the end of September. The plant forms a well-growing, branching shrub of approximately 60 cm high. Rose Archimedes has shiny, small leaves which give the plant a healthy appearance. Due to the low plant height, this rose is ideal for ground cover plantings in both public green areas and private gardens. This low rose also has a beautiful effect in group plantings (for example with boxwood hedges).
Plant height up to 60cm.

Maintenance
Roses love the sun, so pick a spot for your roses where the summer sun will reach them for at least a few hours. Roses thrive in nutrient-rich soil. In spring and summer, you can use an organic fertilizer on your roses. Roses do not mind a dry spell; extra watering tends not to be necessary. Plant the roses at a 30-40 cm distance from each other or from other plants. When planting, place the spot where the stems turn into roots just below the surface, then firmly press the plants into the ground and water. Beautifully flowering roses are achieved by pruning in winter. Prune in February-March, but not when it is freezing. During pruning, remove thin and dead stems, leave just a few strong young stems and cut those down to a length of ±15 cm. In summer, you can encourage a second bloom by cutting off dead flowers.
