Scarlet Fire Rose (Rosa 'Scarlet Fire')
Known also as 'Scharlachglut' this is a good-looker in the garden for it keeps producing its bright red flowers over a long period. The plant grows tall so it is best grown where there is space and where it can become a focal point.
Price: Expect to pay about £4-£6 for a plant.
The Knowledge
- Plant Type: Perennial shrub
- Height: 7m (22ft)
- Spread: 3m (9.8ft)
- Situation: Shady to sunny spot

There is a certain amount of wildness in the plant, both in its looks and the way it grows and is a great addition to any garden. It can be left to grow on each year or pruned back to restrain its growth.
Looking Good:
Look out for the flaming colours of Scarlet Fire at the Owl House Gardens, Lamberhurst, Kent.
Best With:
Best grown with Rosa 'Iceberg' for a real contrasting combination.
