Rockapulco Rose Double Impatiens

Rockapulco® Rose is a double-flowered garden impatiens selected for shade plantings. The [Proven Winners profile](https://www.provenwinners.com/plants/impatiens/rockapulco-rose-double-impatiens-impatiens-walleriana-1) identifies it as *Impatiens walleriana* 'Balolestop' (USPP 13,639), with pink rosebud-like blooms and a mounded habit. ## Flowers and placement Pink double flowers resemble miniature rosebuds above green foliage. The plant grows about 10–20 inches tall and 12–24 inches wide, blooming in spring and summer from planting until frost. Proven Winners lists it as a container filler and recommends it for containers and landscape plantings. ## Growing conditions Site Rockapulco Rose in part shade to shade, in moist, well-drained soil enriched with organic matter. [North Carolina State Extension](https://plants.ces.ncsu.edu/plants/impatiens-walleriana/) notes that garden impatiens can wilt during hot, dry spells and need extra water, while excessive moisture can lead to rot. The species is cold-sensitive and is commonly grown as an annual outside tropical climates. ## Maintenance Keep the root zone evenly moist without leaving soil waterlogged. Deadheading is unnecessary, though removing spent flowers for appearance is harmless. Regular fertilization helps container-grown plants; trim only if stems become leggy or need shaping.
