Description
One of a few roses to win the Award of Excellence for Miniature Roses, and one of the most versatile of the entire class, the Red Cascade Rose covers itself with LOADS of deep crimson red miniature roses (1 to 1.25″) from spring and over and over again through the season and all the way to frost. There is a pleasant fragrance at times, but it is best described as “light.” The “miniature” in the name refers to the size of the blossoms and not the plant itself, which typically grows to 2 to 3 feet tall with a spread of 6 feet or more when grown on the ground or over a wall. As a climber, we’ve seen it reach heights of 12 feet. Its true merit is its vigor and generosity of bloom.
Landscape & Garden Uses
Growing in a trailing or cascading mound or climbing vine, the Red Cascade Rose is ideal for use as a specimen in medium size landscape spaces where it will form an attractive weeping shrub to about 2 to 3 feet tall spreading to 6 feet or more, depending on pruning. If trained on a fence, trellis or pole, it can reach dimensions rivaling any full-sized climber, up to 12 feet in height. Red Cascade Rose is ideal for use planted in mass as a groundcover on embankments, hillsides and slopes or to cascade over walls. Also nice in large pots of 14 inches or more in rim diameter. A fine addition to rose gardens, red theme gardens and cottage gardens.
Suggested Spacing: 5 to 6 feet apart for mass plantings or to cover a fence
Growing Preferences
Red Cascade Rose is exceptionally easy to grow in average, well-drained soils with medium moisture in full sun to part shade. Keep in mind that all roses like morning sun to dry the morning dew from their leaves but will tolerate afternoon shade. Red Cascade do not require pruning, however can be pruned to train as a climber or to control size. We always provide enough room to allow this beauty to ramble naturally so very rarely if ever prune. Deadheading spent flowers is not necessary, however might encourage heavier blooming.

I received this plant well packaged and healthy. It has been planted and growing nicely for two weeks.————————————————We are so glad you are pleased and we hope you enjoy it for years to come! Thanks for the great review! 🙂 Beth Steele | WBG
I bought this rose thinking it was a climber, its to little the flower, is to little too, but is very cute; I hope when it grows more, it will be much better.——————————–The Red Cascade Rose is a climber, and a fast grower, just give it time. And being a one gallon size pot, the rose is not going to be a large plant. I think you will enjoy it once it takes off. Thanks for the review! 🙂 Beth | WBG
I would definitely order from Wilson bros again. The whole experience was so smooth and way better than I expected.
1. My plant shipped quickly. I ordered other plants from a different nursery BEFORE I ordered from Wilson bros and it took 6 weeks to get those plants. The whole process with Wilson bros took about 10 days, from order to receiving my plant.
2. The packaging was nice and neat. I ordered the gallon size and was skeptical I would recieve an intact plant but I was pleasantly surprised when I opened the box and everything was just as it should be. Their packaging prevented the dirt from falling out and none of the branches were broken.
3. I recieved a large healthy plant. Most of My experience with mail ordering plants has been receiving plants you needed a magnifying glass to find or even worse DOA. I was so excited that I didnt recieve just a gallon worth of dirt but an actual living, growing, gallon size rose bush. It’s healthy and started blooming immediately after I planted it.
Overall I loved my experience with Wilson bros and will never bother wasting my time or money ordering from a different nursery in the future.———————————–We are so glad you are pleased and we hope you enjoy it for years to come! Thanks so much for the kind words and awesome review! 🙂 Beth Steele | WBG
