Description

Heart 'n' Soul is a hybrid shrub in the Rosaceae family bred by Pierre Orard of France and introduced in the United States in 2001 by Weeks Wholesale Rose Grower, Inc. Parentage is Tamango x Iceberg. 

This shrub has a spreading upright habit and grows 4-5 feet tall and 2-4 feet wide. Plant in full sun in amended well-drained moist garden soil. Prune in late winter to early spring to remove damaged, dead, crossed or diseased wood.  Prune canes by 1/3 or more if needed. Protect new growth from early spring frosts.

Flowers of Heart 'n' Soul are white with red ruffled edges, 2-3 inches across, mild to no fragrance and 18-22 petals. Remove spent blooms to encourage re-blooming.  Flushes of blooms will appear throughout the season.  Leaves are glossy dark green on stems with prickles.

Insects, Diseases, and Other Plant Problems:  Watch for powdery mildew, rust and black spot. See pests of roses to the left. Deer will browse roses.
