Rosa 'Hot Stuff' is a compact, deciduous shrub with thorny stems and mid-green, glossy, toothed pinnate leaves. From late spring through to autumn, it bears unscented, fully double, bright orange-red flowers with flecks of yellow.
Rosa 'Hot Stuff' is a healthy, robust plant with good resistance to diseases. It has a rounded habit, making it the perfect choice for growing in a pot on a sunny patio, or at the front of the border as an edging rose or low-growing hedge.
Deadhead in summer to prolong flowering, and feed fortnightly with a potash-rich fertiliser.
