Description
The 'Betty Boop' Rose is a stout bush that is very easy to grow and is one of the most generous and photogenic floribundas, even in partial shade and relatively dry soil in summer. Its bicoloured and pollen-rich flowering, with semi-double white flowers edged in red, extends from June to late in the season, even when faded flowers are not removed. A fruity-scented flowering that is enhanced by rarely diseased dark green foliage. Ideal for creating sunny borders and beds, small spaces, or the terrace.
The 'Betty Boop' Rose is an American creation by Tom Carruth, dating back to 1999. It has received the highest award for roses in the USA: the AARS.
This variety, belonging to the floribunda rose family, quickly forms a solid, rounded, branched, and compact bush with thorny stems, reaching an average height of 80 cm (32in) with a spread of 70-80 cm (28-32in). It is covered with glossy foliage, initially red and turning dark green in summer. Its flowering is abundant from May to June, and then consistently re-flowering until October if the plant does not lack water. Its 5-6 cm (2in) wide corollas are semi-double, composed of 6 to 12 petals, and grouped in clusters of 5 to 7 flowers. The tightly closed rose-red fuchsia buds open into globular yellow and red flowers. Over time, the corolla unfolds into a wide-open cup, revealing undulating petals. The colour of the centre of the flower evolves from yellow to ivory white, while the vermilion red border turns magenta red. The scent of this rose is quite pronounced, fruity, and very pleasant.
Floribunda roses allow for the creation of beautiful small hedges, planted mixed along the terrace or in beds with small shrubs. Combine them with abelias, nandinas, or caryopteris, for example. They are good companions for paniculate phlox and tall baby's breath. The vigour and resistance of 'Betty Boop' make it an interesting variety for all gardens, even small ones, and for growing in large pots. Its uses are diverse, according to each gardener's desires: in a rose bed, alongside white varieties ('Marie Pavie', 'Swanny'), or red ones ('Red Cascade', 'Lili Marlene'), or mixed with easy-to-grow perennials like hardy geraniums, small-flowered carnations, bellflowers, or asters. And its roses are so warm in bouquets!

Planting and care
Plant the floribunda rose 'Betty Boop' from November to March, in ordinary, well-loosened and free-draining soil. Roses prefer clayey soils, rather heavy than light. In soil that is too sandy, too compact or too dry in summer, it is preferable to bury compost, decomposed manure or leaf-mould at the bottom of the planting hole. However, this rose dreads waterlogged soils in winter. Place it in a sunny position, at most in partial shade. Roses are greedy plants, a specific rose fertiliser application will be beneficial when the foliage emerges, then regularly during the entire flowering period.
To encourage re-blooming, regularly remove faded flowers. Floribunda rose varieties are more vigorous and floriferous than large-flowered rose varieties. Therefore, the stems should be pruned to about a quarter of their length (4 to 6 buds from the base of the stem) at the end of winter. Always prune above an outward-facing bud, so that the bush thickens and the branches do not become tangled in the centre of the shrub.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).

In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a (East Coast and Midlands: Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny, Portlaoise). It will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the north-west (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal, Westport), delay planting by 1 to 2 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 1 to 2 weeks in autumn compared to the dates given, preferably choosing periods without strong winds.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (Wicklow Mountains, Macgillycuddy’s Reeks, Connemara, Killarney), it is best to plant in spring (April–May) or autumn (September–October), avoiding periods of waterlogged soil in winter and strong winds, which pose the main risk to newly planted trees in these areas.
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a, such as the East Coast and Midlands, including Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny and Portlaoise.
This will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the northwest (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal and Westport), it will be delayed by one to two weeks compared to the given dates, due to stronger Atlantic winds and less spring sunshine.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (the Wicklow Mountains, the Macgillycuddy's Reeks, Connemara and Killarney), flowering will be delayed by two to three weeks. Flowering mainly occurs between May and July, with the limiting factors being less frost and more of the excessive humidity, strong winds and lack of sunshine that are characteristic of these areas.
