History of Rosa Love

William A. Warriner, a renowned American rose breeder, bred the Rose Love before 1977. He was passionate about breeding roses and produced many popular varieties, including the Queen Elizabeth and the Chicago Peace. The Rose Love was bred by crossing an unnamed variety with the 'Redgold' (USPP003006). Warriner's primary objective was to produce a new Grandiflora with multicolored or bicolored blooms, and he succeeded with the Rose Love. The rose was patented in the United States as PP 4,437 on July 17, 1979.

Growing Care of Rosa Love

The Rose Love is easy to grow, and with a little care, it will reward you with a continuous (perpetual) bloom throughout the season. It requires well-draining soil, regular watering, and full sun exposure. To ensure a healthy plant, prune it in the spring by removing old canes and dead or diseased wood. Cut back canes that cross, and in warmer climates, cut back the remaining canes by about one-third. In colder areas, pruning a little more than that may be necessary. Adding fertilizer to the soil in the spring and summer will also help the plant grow healthy and strong.
