Rosa ‘PatioHit’ Red (P13) — Valentine’s Patio Rose Gift

Rosa ‘PatioHit’® Red is a brilliant little rose for big feelings. It’s compact enough for pots and patios, yet it produces a generous show of classic, rich red blooms that look stunning against glossy green foliage. With regular deadheading, it will keep flowering through the season—making it a romantic gift that lasts far longer than a bouquet.

Perfect for Valentine’s Day, this is a thoughtful “living gift” that can be enjoyed on a sunny windowsill, patio or balcony now, and then planted out later. And of course, it’s perfect for gifting to any loved one—a partner, friend, family member, or even as a treat to yourself.

Planting Instructions

When to Plant:

Plant in spring or autumn, while the soil is workable. Container-grown roses like this can be planted at most times of year, but avoid periods of frost or waterlogged ground.

Where to Plant:
Choose a spot in full sun (at least 6 hours a day) with fertile, well-drained soil. Ideal for pots and containers, patios, balconies, and the front of borders. Good air circulation helps keep plants healthy.

How to Plant:

• Depth: Plant so the top of the compost is level with the soil surface.
• Spacing: If planting in the ground, space around 35–45 cm apart. In pots, one plant per pot works best.
• Soil Prep: Improve the planting hole with garden compost or well-rotted organic matter. For pots, use a quality peat-free compost and ensure plenty of drainage holes.

Watering:
Water well after planting. Keep compost/soil evenly moist during the first few weeks. Roses in pots will need more regular watering in warm weather.

Aftercare Tips:

• Deadhead regularly to encourage repeat flowering.
• Feed with a rose fertiliser in spring and again in summer for the best display.
• In late winter or early spring, lightly prune to shape and encourage fresh flowering growth.
• In containers, protect roots in very cold weather by moving pots to a sheltered spot or wrapping the pot.

Top Tip:
For a Valentine’s gift that feels extra special, pop your ‘PatioHit’® rose into a decorative pot and add a message tag—it’s a lasting reminder that will flower again and again.
