Every moment spent in your garden will feel like a fun-filled celebration with our groundcover rose, 'Party Dress'. Like bright pink confetti, the delicate, single blooms burst forth with a sensational festival of color that contrasts beautifully with the healthy glossy, dark green foliage!

The brilliant 2-inch blooms spiral open from pretty little pointed buds that simply cover the 2-foot-high and 3-foot-wide plant. Their stems are typically between 8 and 10 inches long, so you could even snip a few to enjoy in indoor arrangements! Vigorous, easy to grow, and very low maintenance, this is one groundcover rose you'll want sprawling across those sunny spots in the garden, scattering dazzling color throughout borders and mixed perennial beds, or spilling over the sides of your favorite patio containers.

Plant 'Party Dress' in moist, well-drained soil in full sun. Spring pruning is recommended. Old and dead wood should be removed and canes that cross need to be cut back. Gardeners in warmer climates should cut back the remaining canes by about one-third, while those in colder areas will probably want to prune a little more than that. Zones 4-9.

Additional pruning tips for healthy, beautiful, productive roses:

Whether you're deadheading, removing dead wood, or performing an annual pruning, make sure your cuts are no more than ¼ inch (5 mm) above a bud, and slope the cut away from the bud, to prevent water from collecting on it.
Your cuts should always be clean, so keep your pruning shears sharp, and use pruning tools that are appropriately sized to whatever size stems you are cutting.
To encourage an open-centered form, cut to an outward-facing bud. To encourage upright growth on roses with a spreading habit, prune a few of the stems to inward-facing buds.
Prune any dieback to the healthy, white pith.
Remove dead or diseased stems, as well as any that cross or are spindly.
Your goal should be to have well-spaced stems that allow for a free flow of air.
If pruning an established plant, remove any old wood that is flowering poorly, and use a saw to get rid of old stubs that are no longer producing new shoots.
Other than climbing roses, you should prune newly planted roses hard, which encourages vigorous shoot production.
When removing suckers, trace them back to the roots from which they are growing, and simply take them off.

Butterflies like a lot of sunlight, so locate your garden in a sunny area.
If you live in a windy location, plant your butterfly-attracting plants near a building, fence, or hedge to protect them.
Plant a variety of nectar-rich plants, as well as shrubs and evergreens for shelter.
Since many butterflies and native flowering plants have co-evolved, try to put in some that are native to your area. The Lady Bird Johnson Wildlife Center provides lists of plants native to states and regions.
Certain colors are particularly attracting to butterflies – red, yellow, pink, purple, or orange blooms that are clustered or flat-topped, with a short flower tubes are especially attractive to adult butterflies.
Avoid using pesticides, especially around nectar-producing plants.
Provide a shallow source of water – try a birdbath with pebbles lining the bowl.
Place a rock in a sunny spot for butterfly basking and resting.
Create a "puddling area" by digging a shallow hole filled with compost or manure where rainwater will collect and release essential salts and minerals.
If you want butterflies to breed in your garden, put in some caterpillar food plants, such as parsley, milkweeds, asters, thistles, violets, clover, grasses, and Queen Anne’s Lace.
Since butterflies need nectar throughout the entire adult phase of their lives, try to create a design that will allow for a continuous bloom – when one stops blooming, another starts.

Tips for gardening in particularly hot, dry climates:

1. Water with a drip system whenever possible – soak the bed slowly and thoroughly to a depth of 10" to 12".

2. Watering deeply every 3 to 5 days is preferable to a shallow daily watering.

3. Water in the early morning, so foliage has time to dry.

4. Add a 2- to 3-inch layer of mulch or similar material to aid in water retention and help keep the roots cool during hot weather.
