ABOUT
Rosa Super Trouper, commonly known as the Super Trouper rose, is a floribunda rose that is particularly noted for its vibrant and striking flowers. The blooms exhibit an arresting orange or fiery scarlet hue, often with a subtle gradient of color that can range from a deeper tone at the edges to a lighter shade toward the center. These flowers are usually double or semi-double, meaning they have multiple layers of petals, creating a full and luxurious appearance. Each petal has a velvety texture which contributes to the rose's overall aesthetic appeal. The petals might occasionally show slight hints of pink or yellow, adding to the complexity of the flower's coloration. The blooms typically gather in clusters, giving a showy display when the plant is in full flower. The individual flowers emanate a delightful fragrance that can be described as rich and somewhat fruity, which makes them even more appealing to many gardeners and admirers. The foliage of the Super Trouper rose is a lush, glossy green, providing an excellent backdrop to the brilliance of the flowers. The leaves are typically oval-shaped with pointed tips and have a leathery feel. They often display a serrated edge which is characteristic of rose plants. This dense greenery is spread along the stems, which are equipped with thorns. The thorns help to protect the plant from browsing animals and can make handling the plant require caution. This rose presents a bushy habit, with a vigorous and robust growth that contributes to its overall ornamental appeal. Its resilient nature and colorful show make it a popular choice for gardens, where it is often planted in borders or used for creating decorative hedges and flower beds. Super Trouper roses can also be found adding their bright hues to public parks and spaces, where they are appreciated for their showy blossoms and delightful scent.

ToxicityTo humans
The Rose Super Trouper does not have significant toxicity to humans. Roses in general are not considered poisonous although eating large quantities of roses, including their leaves and flowers, might cause stomach upset or discomfort due to the plant material that humans typically don't consume. It’s important to note that roses might be treated with pesticides and chemicals, so ingesting plants from a non-organic source could potentially lead to adverse effects from those chemicals rather than the plant itself. As with any non-food plant, it is advisable to refrain from ingesting it as a precaution.
To pets
The Rose Super Trouper is not known to be toxic to pets. Roses themselves are not toxic to cats, dogs, or other household pets. However, the thorns on rose bushes can cause physical injury if a pet attempts to chew on the stems, and if consumed in large quantities, roses could potentially lead to gastrointestinal upset, such as vomiting or diarrhea, simply due to the ingestion of plant material that pets are not accustomed to. As with human consumption, chemical treatments on roses could also pose a risk to pets. It's best to keep an eye on your pet to ensure they do not ingest parts of the plant or come into contact with harmful chemicals.

WaterFor the Rosa 'Super Trouper', it is essential to maintain consistent moisture without waterlogging the soil. Water the plant deeply once a week with approximately 1 to 1.5 gallons of water, ensuring the root zone is thoroughly saturated. During hot or dry periods, increase the frequency to twice a week, carefully monitoring the soil moisture to prevent overwatering. In cooler, rainy seasons or climates, reduce watering but never allow the soil to completely dry out. It is best to water in the morning to allow foliage to dry throughout the day, reducing the risk of fungal diseases.
LightThe Rosa 'Super Trouper' thrives in full sunlight, requiring at least 6 to 8 hours of direct, unfiltered light daily for optimal growth and bloom production. Plant in a location that receives morning sun, which is less intense and helps dry dew on the leaves, reducing the likelihood of disease. Avoid shaded areas as insufficient light can lead to fewer blooms and a weakened plant.
TemperatureThe Rosa 'Super Trouper' prefers a temperate climate with ideal daytime temperatures ranging from 65 to 75 degrees Fahrenheit. It can survive minimum temperatures down to about 20 degrees Fahrenheit but may need protection during harsher winter frosts. During the summer, the rose can handle higher temperatures but will benefit from some afternoon shade in regions where temperatures exceed 90 degrees Fahrenheit.
PruningPruning the Rosa 'Super Trouper' is essential to promote healthy growth, remove dead wood, and encourage more blooms. Perform the main pruning in late winter or early spring before new growth begins, cutting back the plant by about one-third to one-half of its height. Deadhead spent flowers throughout the growing season to stimulate reblooming. Always use clean, sharp tools to make precise cuts, and prune just above a bud facing outward to direct the new growth away from the center of the plant.
CleaningAs needed
SoilThe best soil mix for the Floribunda Rose should be well-draining, loamy, and enriched with organic matter such as compost or well-rotted manure. A slightly acidic to neutral pH range between 6.0 and 7.0 is ideal for this plant.
RepottingFloribunda Roses planted in containers may need repotting every 2-3 years to refresh the soil and accommodate root growth. It's best done in late winter or early spring.
Humidity & MistingFloribunda Roses prefer moderate humidity levels but are adaptable to various atmospheric conditions. They do not require specific humidity adjustments when grown outdoors.
Suitable locationsIndoor
Keep in sunlight, water regularly, and provide ample airflow.
Outdoor

Life cycleThe Rosa Super Trouper, commonly known as the floribunda rose, begins its life cycle when the seeds germinate in soil with adequate moisture and sunlight. The seedling stage involves the development of a primary root and shoot that will eventually form the rose bush. As the plant enters the vegetative growth phase, it produces stems, leaves, and thorns, establishing a robust structure to support flowering. The flowering stage is marked by the blooms for which the plant is known, typically pink to orange flowers that attract pollinators and signal reproductive maturity. After pollination, the plant may produce hips (fruit) containing seeds, which can be dispersed to begin a new cycle. Rosa Super Trouper goes through a period of dormancy in colder climates, wherein growth and metabolic activities slow down until favorable conditions return with spring.
PropogationPropogation time
Spring-Early Summer
Propogation: Rosa Super Trouper, commonly known as Fryleyeca, is best propagated by hardwood cuttings, a process often done during the plant's dormancy period in late fall or winter. To propagate by this method, one would select healthy, mature stems from the current year's growth and cut them into lengths of about 6 to 8 inches (15 to 20 centimeters), ensuring each cutting has at least a couple of nodes. The bottom cut should be made just below a node, and the top cut should be just above a node to increase the likelihood of successful rooting. These cuttings are then dipped in rooting hormone to stimulate root development and planted in a well-draining soil mix, with about two-thirds of the cutting buried underground. The cuttings require consistent moisture and protection from harsh weather conditions until they establish a strong root system and show signs of growth, usually by the following spring.
