Description

Rosa 'SPIcup' is a miniature rose with a very gentle fragrance.  Flowering from late spring to early fall, the blooms are shades of pink with deeper pink centers.  Its form make it a good choice for smaller garden areas and containers or planters.  As it grows, it will fill out to the ground, making it a good choice as a groundcover.  Its size also make it a plant to choose as a house plant. 

As with most roses, allow space around the plant to encourage good air movement to help prevent diseases.

Ensure that good drainage is provided, this plant will not tolerate standing water. 

Pruning should be done in late winter after the threat of extreme cold temperatures has passed.
