Rockin'™ Rose Dianthus

Rockin’™ Rose is the deep-rose selection in the interspecific Sweet William series, identified by breeder code PAS1350215. Its upright plants reach about 18–24 inches tall and 10–12 inches wide, with lacy, slightly scented flowers above a full clump. The breeder lists USDA zones 5a–8b and a flowering season that includes spring and summer. ## Garden Use Use this selection in a sunny or partly sunny perennial border, or in a quart- or gallon-size patio container where its rose-colored flowers can be enjoyed at close range. Space plants about 12 inches apart. The [Ball Seed profile](https://info.ballseed.com/PlantInfo?phid=022508077004669) identifies Rockin’ Rose and lists its exposure, dimensions, seasonal flowering, and breeder code; the [RHS profile](https://www.rhs.org.uk/plants/505340/dianthus-rockin-rose-pas1350215-rockin-series-p-a/details) confirms the exact trade selection and botanical family. ## Growing Grow in full sun or partial sun. The series is described as reliably overwintering from zone 5 and producing long-lasting flowers. Use the mature height and spread as planning ranges, and leave space for air movement around the foliage. ## Maintenance Remove faded flower heads after the main display for a cleaner outline. Water during establishment and extended dry weather, and check containers more often than in-ground plantings. In spring, trim away damaged growth as new shoots emerge.
