Description

Rose Opal® is a dwarf compact shrub which is great for smaller gardens.  It bears masses of colourful red brushes in Spring.

Twice yearly trimming, once after flowering and again about three months later is all that's required to keep Rose Opal®Tnice and compact and covered in new growth.
