Description

The Amirose rose (Rosa 'KORhulth 005') is a generous and highly decorative groundcover rose that will delight gardeners seeking a robust, floriferous and easy-going plant. This is a captivating variety with continuous flowering, exceptional resistance to diseases, and its small, evolving flowers with romantic charm. Whether in beds, borders or containers, Amirose is a reliable rose to beautify your garden throughout summer.

A creation from the German house W. Kordes’ Söhne Rosenschulen GmbH & Co KG, 'Amirose' was bred in 2015 and introduced in Europe in 2022 under the cultivar name 'KORhulth 005'. This rose has been distinguished with the prestigious Award of Garden Merit (AGM) from the Royal Horticultural Society (RHS), attesting to its remarkable garden performance.
The name 'Amirose' is a poetic creation blending the words "ami" (friend) and "rose", suggesting a rose dedicated to friendship. This symbolism is reinforced by its description as a symbol of friendship in the world of flowers.

The Amirose rose is characterised by a low, compact habit; the bush reaches approximately 40 cm in height with a 50 cm spread, making this cultivar an excellent groundcover for low beds, borders, slopes or planters. It produces charming semi-double flowers, 4-5 cm in diameter, borne in clusters, whose colour evolves over days: they shift from a soft peach-pink to a fresh pink with a purplish centre, then gently fade to white as they age, creating a refined and changing visual effect. A light fragrance accompanies this flowering. The bush is covered in flowers from May until the first frosts, without interruption, for over 5 months. This rose is also valued for its bright green, glossy, dense and particularly healthy foliage, which is naturally resistant to major diseases like powdery mildew or black spot.

Undemanding, charming, generous and resistant, the 'Amirose' rose is perfect for creating simple flowering displays. It is perfect as a groundcover, in borders or at the front of beds. Its low, spreading habit creates a carpet of flowers on a slope or in more formal areas like along paths or terraces. Pair it with other groundcovers with complementary flowering, such as the ‘Blanc Meillandecor’ rose for a bright contrast, or 'Knirps' for its small candy-pink flowers and dense foliage. In a more natural composition, combine it with flexible perennials like catmints (Nepeta faassenii), hardy geraniums such as ‘Rozanne’ or ‘Orion’, and Stachys byzantina with its soft silver foliage. Together, these plants offer long-lasting flowering with minimal maintenance.

Planting and care

'Amirose' roses prefer a sunny position (at least 4-5 hours of sun per day) but sheltered from the scorching midday rays and strong winds. They like loose, well-drained soils rich in compost. They will adapt to any garden provided the ground is well worked and sufficiently rich.
To plant your 'Amirose' rose, work the soil to a depth of 30-40 cm, breaking up the earth well and placing a base fertiliser such as dried blood or dehydrated horn at the bottom of the planting hole. Position your young plant after removing it from its pot, covering the top of the root ball with 3 cm of soil, backfill and water thoroughly to eliminate air pockets. In dry weather, water regularly for a few weeks to encourage rooting. Feed your rose with special rose fertiliser, which stimulates plant flowering.

Roses often develop spots or look unsightly by late summer, but this is not a problem for their development. These spots are not harmful to the rose; it is a natural phenomenon.
