Plant into sun drenched borders for big bold color injection. Spectacular amidst a riot of cottage garden perennials. An excellent choice for south and east facing foundation planters with full exposure. Exceptional in masses as traditional groundcover or in irregular groups. A stand out against white picket fences and lattice. Ideal for settling in pillars and entry pilasters.

History
Caramba carries advanced genetics developed for its outstanding pest and disease resistance in challenging moist climates.
Lore
Long before they were appreciated as beautiful flowers, roses were treasured for their scent. Oils in this plant were long considered medicinal and were used in cosmetics. Romans gathered roses from the western world for cultivation in Europe which later contributed to the monasteries where the first herbals of medicinal rose use were translated from Greek and Arabic.
