Kolorscape Flamingo Rose
Kolorscape Flamingo Rose (Rosa 'KORhopiko')
Kolorscape Flamingo Rose is a compact landscape shrub rose that delivers bold hot pink color in steady flushes, keeping beds and borders bright for months. Clusters of semi-double flowers cover the plant from early summer through fall, so you get repeat color without relying on a single peak bloom. The tidy, rounded habit stays manageable and easy to place, even in smaller gardens or tighter foundation beds. If you want strong color with a low-drama care routine, this rose is built for everyday performance.
Distinctive Features
This shrub rose produces lively clusters of deep, vibrant pink, semi-double blooms that stand out against glossy, dark green foliage. Flowering comes in repeat flushes from early summer to frost, with very light fragrance and little downtime between cycles when grown in sun. The plant maintains a compact, rounded form that looks full and intentional, making it a reliable choice for massing and edging. Mature size is typically about 3 to 4 feet tall and 2 to 3 feet wide.
Growing Conditions
- Sun: Full sun is best for maximum bloom and the strongest, densest growth.
- Soil: Plant in fertile, well-drained soil and amend with organic matter for best performance.
- Water: Water deeply during establishment, then water when the top few inches of soil are dry while avoiding waterlogged conditions.
- USDA Zones: Zones 4 to 9.
- Spacing: Space about 2 to 3 feet apart to promote airflow and let the shrub fill out evenly.
Ideal Uses
- Focal Point: Use as a focal point in a sunny bed where hot pink bloom can carry the color story from early summer through fall.
- Mass Planting: Plant in groups for a bold sweep of pink that reads well from the street.
- Front Borders: Keeps the front edge of beds crisp with a compact habit and repeat bloom.
- Foundation Beds: Adds long-season color and a tidy, rounded shape along the house without overwhelming the space.
- Containers: Works well in large pots where the steady bloom and glossy foliage stay presentable with simple care.
Low Maintenance Care
- Pruning: Prune in late winter to early spring to shape the plant and encourage vigorous new flowering growth.
- Deadheading: Deadheading is optional, but removing spent clusters can improve tidiness and encourage faster repeat bloom.
- Watering: Water at the base to keep foliage drier and support healthier growth through humid weather.
- Feeding: Fertilize in spring and again after the first bloom flush to support continued flowering.
- Mulching: Mulch to conserve moisture, suppress weeds, and moderate soil temperature around the roots.
