A robust and radiant Floribunda bloom with russet red-brown, cup-shaped flowers borne in large clusters from July to September. Blooms have a subtle, sweet fragrance which perfectly complements both the name and the welcoming tones. As this is a repeat flowering shrub, remember to deadhead continually to encourage the emergence of further buds. Rosa 'Hot Chocolate' fits well with other shrubs in a border and will also grow in a large container or raised bed. As with most roses they make an exceptional cut flower for either a vase or bouquet - allowing you to make the most of their perfume indoors too.Rosa 'Hot Chocolate' is a hardy, deciduous shrub which grows up to 90cm tall and spreads to 45cm. Plant in moist, humus rich soil which is well-drained and enjoys the benefit of full sun. Prune in early spring and mulch annually with well-rotted compost or manure.
