About
Rosa Bossa Nova ('Pouloma'PBR) is a cultivated rose in the Rosaceae family, notable for producing flowers through June to September. It belongs to the genus Rosa and is presented under its trade name. Gardeners choose it for its extended flowering season within the summer months. Routine summer deadheading will help sustain blooms across the season.

In the garden
Rosa Bossa Nova ('Pouloma'PBR) sits in the genus Rosa within the Rosaceae family and is offered as a named garden rose. Its principal calendar trait is a flowering run from June to September, providing colour through much of the British summer. Plant it where it receives ample light and in soil that drains freely; most garden roses perform best with several hours of direct sun and a rooting environment that is not waterlogged. Provide a layer of organic mulch at planting to conserve moisture and moderate soil temperature, and feed with a balanced rose fertiliser in early spring and again after the first flush to support repeat blooms. Prune during the dormant season to open the centre and remove crossing or congested growth so air circulates through the crown. Use Rosa Bossa Nova ('Pouloma'PBR) in rose beds, mixed borders or larger containers sited in a bright spot. It suits locations where sustained flowering is wanted between June and September and works well when planted with companion perennials that fill in before and after the rose’s peak. Remove spent flowers through the summer to encourage further bloom and reduce the likelihood of seed-hip development.
