Description
The 'Off-Load' Rose, remarkably floriferous, offers throughout the season an abundance of roses of a absolutely radiant golden yellow that exhale a beautiful fragrance with spicy notes. The striking colour of this flowering is well highlighted by shiny, dense foliage that is disease-resistant. This robust and highly recurrent variety is easy to maintain. Its compact habit is suitable for both borders and container cultivation. These qualities have earned this rose the prestigious Silver Star of the City of Palmerston North award in New Zealand.
The 'Off-Load' Rose ('Mattmaf') is a beautiful variety created by the New Zealand breeder Bob Matthews. The plant forms, in a few years, a erect, bushy shrub, with thorny stems, reaching an average height of 65 cm (26in) with a spread of 50 cm (20in), adorned with very healthy foliage, divided into large, toothed leaflets of a glossy dark green. Its flowering is highly recurrent, starting in May-June depending on the region, blooming again in the middle of summer if the soil remains moist, and ending in October. Its double corollas (45 to 50 petals) are medium-sized, gathered in generous clusters that cover the foliage well. The tightly closed buds open into round cups, in a gradient of very bright yellow. Their rose fragrance reveals spicy notes, which are more noticeable in hot and calm weather. The deciduous foliage falls in autumn.
Cluster-flowered roses can be used to create beautiful small hedges, planted mixed along the edge of the terrace or in small shrub borders. Combine them with Japanese spireas, dwarf weigelas, caryopteris, and peonies, for example. They are good companions for panicle phlox and tall baby's breath. The modest size of this 'Off-Load' rose fits well in all gardens, even small ones, or in a large pot to decorate the balcony or terrace. Its uses are varied, depending on each gardener's desires: in a rose bed, planted in groups of 3 to 5 plants, or in a large border. It will blend well with light and easy-to-grow plants such as perennial geraniums (Geranium 'Blue Cloud', 'Anne Folkard', 'Nimbus', 'Orion'), bellflowers (lactiflora, rapunculoides), catmints, cornflowers, foxgloves, phlox etc. Its flowers can be used to create elegant bouquets that will delicately perfume the house.

Planting and care
Plant the 'Off-Load' rose from November to March, in ordinary, well-tilled and well-drained soil. Roses prefer clayey soils, rather than light soils. In soil that is too sandy, compact or dry in summer, it is preferable to bury compost, decomposed manure or leaf compost at the bottom of the planting hole. However, this rose fears waterlogged soils in winter. Place it in a sunny position, preferably in partial shade. Roses are greedy plants, so a specific fertiliser will be beneficial at the start of the vegetation, and regularly throughout the flowering. To encourage new growth, regularly remove faded flowers. Floribunda rose varieties are more vigorous and produce more flowers than large-flowered rose varieties. Therefore, the stems will be pruned to about a quarter of their length (from 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 can thicken and the branches do not become tangled in the centre of the bush.

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.
