About
Rosa Geraldine ('Peahaze') is a cultivated rose within the genus Rosa (family Rosaceae) notable for flowering from June to September. The extended bloom period provides regular summer colour across several months. It responds well to standard rose maintenance such as pruning and deadheading to prolong flowering. The variety suits beds and mixed borders where sustained summer blooms are wanted.
About the genus

In the garden
Rosa Geraldine ('Peahaze') belongs to the genus Rosa in the family Rosaceae and is offered as a garden rose selection. Its defining horticultural feature is the flowering season, which runs from June to September, giving a sustained display through the summer months. The plant should be treated as you would other garden roses: give a position with good air circulation and reliable drainage to reduce disease pressure and encourage clean foliage. Work with soil that has been improved where necessary with organic matter so roots establish quickly; roses perform best when ground is friable and drains freely. Feed with a balanced rose fertiliser in spring and again after the first flush of blooms to support repeat flowering. Prune according to the rose type to renew wood and shape the plant, and remove spent flowerheads during the season to maintain a tidy habit and encourage further blooms. Rosa Geraldine ('Peahaze') fits well in mixed borders, dedicated rose beds or alongside pathways where the June–September flowers can be enjoyed at close range. Aim to deadhead regularly through the summer to maximise the flowering window and check for blackspot or mildew so corrective action can be taken early.
