Bossa Nova™ Rose Begonia

Bossa Nova™ Rose is a seed-grown Begonia boliviensis variety with pink-to-rose flowers and a branched, spreading habit. Syngenta lists it at 12–16 inches tall and 16–20 inches wide, with flowering from mid-spring into summer and a broad range of light exposure. ## Form and placement The [Syngenta profile](https://www.syngentaflowers.com/ams/product/flower/70103482) identifies the exact Rose variety and describes the Bossa Nova series as mounding and trailing, heat-loving, and well branched. Use it in patio pots, mixed containers, or hanging baskets, allowing the stems to drape over the edge. The breeder’s listing gives USDA hardiness zones 9a–11a; in colder regions it is best treated as a warm-season annual or moved to protection before frost. ## Growing conditions The series profile accepts full sun, part sun, part shade, and full shade. Choose light with local heat in mind, and use a well-drained growing medium. Let the surface begin to dry between waterings while avoiding prolonged wilting or waterlogged roots. The listed dimensions are garden ranges, not a guarantee for every container or climate. ## Maintenance Check container moisture regularly in warm weather and remove damaged growth. No exact-cultivar need for routine deadheading was established in the opened sources.
