Botanical Name: Rosa 'Little Darling' ROE-sah Common Name: Floribunda rose Genus: Rosa
This fragrant rose produces single salmon-pink blossoms with yellow basal highlights. It blooms nonstop from June until frost and grows 3 to 5 feet high and wide.
 Noteworthy characteristics: Modern Floribundas are grown for their many clusters of everblooming, single or double flowers, which are sometimes fragrant. The blossoms are produced in waves from late spring or early summer until fall. They form upright, disease-resistant shrubs, making them ideal for borders or hedges. 
 Care: Grow in fertile, moist, well-drained soil in full sun or partial shade. Provide good air circulation and remove fallen leaves to help prevent disease. In late winter or early spring, prune hard (back to 10-18 inches) and reduce sideshoots to 2 or 3 buds. To renovate, prune one in three stems close to the base.
 Propagation: Take softwood cuttings when bloom initiates in spring to summer; take hardwood cuttings in fall.
 Problems: Aphids, leafhoppers, spider mites, scale, caterpillars, sawfly larvae, cane borers, Japanese beetles, rose stem girders, rose midges, rose slugs, rose chafers, leaf-cutting bees, black spot, rust, powdery mildew, crown gall, canker, dieback, downy mildew, viruses.
