Add dramatic colour and distinctive character to your garden with Rose Flash Night, an unusual striped Spray Rose admired for its striking dark burgundy-red flowers with contrasting white streaks and splashes.

Unlike traditional large-flowered Hybrid Tea roses, Flash Night produces clusters of smaller, beautifully shaped double blooms, creating a colourful miniature bouquet effect directly on the plant.

The velvety dark red to purple-red petals are decorated with irregular white stripes, streaks and occasional pale pink markings. Each flower develops its own unique pattern, making this variety especially attractive for gardeners who enjoy unusual and decorative roses.

With its compact growth, repeat-flowering habit and beautiful clustered flowers, Flash Night is an excellent choice for gardeners looking for a red and white striped rose, a bicolour Spray Rose or a distinctive rose for borders, patio containers and cutting gardens.

• Excellent for cutting – clustered blooms are particularly attractive in miniature bouquets and floral arrangements.

What colour is Rose Flash Night?

The unusual flower colouring is the most distinctive feature of Flash Night.

Its small, double flowers combine a deep burgundy-red to purple-red base with irregular white stripes, streaks and splashes.

Depending on flower maturity and growing conditions, the blooms may display:

• deep burgundy red

• dark crimson

• purple-red tones

• maroon shades

• bright white stripes

• creamy-white markings

• occasional pale pink streaks

The patterns vary naturally between flowers, creating a distinctive and colourful display throughout the flowering season.

Unlike roses with a uniform petal colour, Flash Night offers a decorative striped appearance that makes individual flowers particularly interesting.

A striking dark red rose for your garden

Flash Night is particularly attractive for gardeners who enjoy dark-coloured roses.

Its rich burgundy-red petals create a dramatic appearance, while the contrasting white markings add brightness and definition to each bloom.

The dark flowers look especially attractive alongside white roses, pale pink flowers, lavender, silver-grey foliage and ornamental grasses.

If you enjoy dramatic colours, explore our Dark Red & Black Roses collection, featuring deep crimson, burgundy and near-black varieties for UK gardens.

What is a Spray Rose?

A Spray Rose produces several smaller flowers on a flowering stem rather than the single large blooms typically associated with Hybrid Tea roses.

This clustered flowering habit creates the appearance of a miniature bouquet.

Rose Flash Night produces attractive clusters of small, double flowers, making it especially suitable for decorative garden planting and floral arrangements.

Its compact bushy growth also makes it a useful choice for gardeners with limited planting space.

Fragrance

Rose Flash Night has a very light fragrance, which may be almost undetectable.

Its main attraction is the unusual combination of dark red and white striped flowers rather than a strong scent.

Flash Night is particularly suitable for gardeners who prioritise striking colour, decorative flower form and repeat flowering.

Where to plant Rose Flash Night

Flash Night performs best in a sunny position with fertile, well-drained soil and good air circulation.

Its compact growth habit makes it suitable for:

• small garden borders

• patio gardens

• large containers

• traditional rose beds

• mixed perennial borders

• decorative edging

• cutting gardens

• feature planting

The dark red and white flowers combine beautifully with soft pink, white, lavender and blue flowering plants.

Allow approximately 50–60 cm between plants, adjusting spacing according to growing conditions and the desired planting effect.

Rose Flash Night as a cut flower

One of the attractive qualities of Flash Night is its suitability for cutting.

Its small flowers develop in clusters, allowing a single stem to carry several decorative blooms.

The striking burgundy-red and white patterns make it particularly attractive in:

• miniature rose bouquets

• mixed floral arrangements

• red and white flower displays

• contemporary floral designs

• decorative table arrangements

• cottage-style garden bouquets

Cut stems when some buds are beginning to open, preferably during the cooler part of the day.

Place freshly cut stems into clean water promptly and refresh the water regularly.

Can Rose Flash Night grow in a container?

Yes. Its compact growth makes Flash Night suitable for planting in a large patio container.

Choose a deep container with drainage holes and use a suitable, nutrient-rich growing medium.

Place the container in a sunny position with good air circulation.

Container-grown roses generally require more frequent watering and feeding than roses planted directly into garden soil.

Planting your bare-root Flash Night rose

Unpack your rose promptly after delivery and keep the roots moist until planting.

Soak the bare roots in water for several hours before planting to help rehydrate them.

Choose a sunny position with fertile, well-drained soil.

Dig a planting hole wide enough for the roots to spread naturally without bending or crowding.

Position the plant at a suitable planting depth, spread the roots evenly, backfill with soil and firm gently.

Water thoroughly after planting.

Avoid planting when the soil is frozen or waterlogged.

Planting during the dormant season gives the rose an opportunity to establish its root system before active spring growth.

Our Bare Root Roses collection includes a wide selection of dormant roses suitable for autumn and winter planting in UK gardens.

Caring for Rose Flash Night

Flash Night benefits from regular care to maintain healthy foliage, compact growth and abundant flowering.

Watering: Water thoroughly during dry periods, especially during the first growing season.

Feeding: Apply a suitable rose fertiliser in spring and during active growth according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Deadheading: Remove faded flower clusters regularly to encourage additional flowering.

Mulching: Apply organic mulch around the base of the plant to help retain moisture and suppress weeds.

Air circulation: Maintain adequate spacing between plants and remove congested growth where necessary.

How to prune Rose Flash Night

Flash Night is a compact, cluster-flowered rose and should be pruned to maintain a balanced, productive framework.

Main pruning is generally carried out in late winter or early spring.

When pruning:

• remove dead, damaged or diseased stems

• remove weak or crossing growth

• shorten excessively long shoots

• maintain an open, compact shape

• encourage healthy new flowering stems

Avoid excessively severe pruning of an already small plant.
