Rosa 'Spice'
Spice produces wave after wave of blush pink, double blossoms with a peppery fragrance that probably gave rise to its name. The blooms are light pink in cooler weather to almost white in the summer heat. Very healthy and easy to grow, Spice is a drought-tolerant evergreen in the south. Flowers are suitable for cutting and use in vases and arrangements.
Arrange shrubs in a cluster of 3-5 plants at the back of a rose planting, or utilize them as a backdrop for annuals, perennials, or herbs. It can also be grown in a large pot on your deck or patio. An excellent choice for everyone, significantly those new to rose increasing.
Spice makes an excellent landscape plant, producing light pink flowers throughout spring, summer, and fall. Like most “old roses,” Spice is at its best in an informal landscape setting.

Winter Shipping: We will continue to ship throughout winter. If you prefer, we are happy to hold your order until spring; please include that request in your shipping notes.
When you order plants from our nursery, you can expect them to arrive in the best possible condition. Our team carefully packs each order using sturdy, biodegradable packaging materials.
Your plants' appearance may vary depending on the season and their current growth stage. We may cut back the leafy growth of some plants to prepare them for shipment and transplanting.
5 Gallon and Up: Any plant purchased to ship over 5 Gallons will be shipped bare root. This means we will remove the plant from its original pot, remove the soil surrounding the roots, and wrap the roots with a biodegradable plastic bag. This reduces weight and the likelihood of damage during shipping.
Once your plants arrive, it is essential to plant them as soon as possible. This will help them rebound and thrive. If you cannot plant immediately, water regularly and keep the roots off heat-conducting surfaces.
Newly transplanted plants often require more water until their roots are well established. Plan to water them 1-3 times weekly for the first few months.
