Gumball Goody™ Rose | Compact Reblooming Shrub Rose

A Candy-Colored Rose That Blooms Spring to Frost — In a Tidy 2–3 Ft PackageGumball Goody™ Rose is a compact, reblooming shrub rose that delivers a continuous, cheerful display of multicolored blooms from spring through the first hard frost. Its flowers open in a delightful mix of light pink, deep pink, and yellow — often with multiple colors present on the plant simultaneously — creating a candy-colored effect that earns its playful name. At just 2–3 ft tall and wide, it fits beautifully in borders, containers, and small-space gardens where larger roses would overwhelm the space. Its rounded, naturally tidy habit requires minimal pruning to maintain an attractive form, and its improved disease resistance means less maintenance and a healthier plant season after season.Why Gumball Goody™ Stands Out Continuous reblooming spring to frost — blooms in flushes from spring through the first hard frost; one of the longest bloom seasons of any shrub rose Multicolor blooms — light pink, deep pink, and yellow flowers often present simultaneously; creates a lively, candy-colored display unlike single-color roses Compact, naturally tidy habit — 2–3 ft tall × 2–3 ft wide; rounded form that requires minimal pruning; ideal for borders, containers, and small gardens Improved disease resistance — bred for resistance to black spot and powdery mildew; healthier and lower-maintenance than older shrub rose varieties Versatile landscape use — works as a border plant, container specimen, mass planting, or low informal hedge; pairs beautifully with lavender, salvia, and ornamental grasses Pollinator-friendly — open-faced blooms attract bees and butterflies throughout the long bloom season Hardiness & Growing Zones USDA Hardiness Zones: 5–9 Zones 5–6: Hardy in-ground; canes may die back in severe winters but regrow vigorously from the roots; mulch around the base before first frost; blooms on new wood so winter dieback does not prevent flowering Zones 7–8: Ideal conditions; vigorous growth with prolific, continuous reblooming from spring through fall Zone 9: Thrives in heat; provide consistent moisture during summer; may bloom earlier (late winter–early spring) and continue longer into fall Sunlight: Full sun (6–8+ hours required; more sun = more blooms and better disease resistance) Soil: Well-drained; adaptable to most soil types; avoid waterlogged conditions Mature size: 2–3 ft tall × 2–3 ft wide Bloom time: Spring through frost (April–November in most zones) Planting & Care TipsPlant in the sunniest spot available with well-drained soil. Water deeply once per week during the growing season — water at the base of the plant rather than overhead to reduce disease pressure. Fertilize in early spring as new growth emerges and again after each bloom flush with a rose-specific or balanced fertilizer. Deadhead spent blooms to encourage the next flush of flowers. In late winter or early spring, cut the plant back by one-third to one-half to stimulate vigorous new growth and the best bloom production. Gumball Goody™’s improved disease resistance means minimal spray programs are needed compared to older rose varieties.Available Sizes 2 Gallon — well-rooted young plant; most economical; will establish quickly 3 Gallon — larger, more established plant; faster to first full bloom display
