Dottie

Description

Dottie is a compact miniature spray rose that delivers a rare, high‑contrast bicolor look: blooms open very dark, nearly black‑purple in cool weather and finish a rich black‑magic red, creating a striped, gallery‑worthy effect. Flowers run about 2–3 inches across and appear continuously through the season, so the plant keeps its bold color on display with minimal downtime.  It’s bred with powdery‑mildew‑free traits for easier garden reliability, making it low‑fuss for containers, small beds, or narrow borders where space is tight.  With its dramatic blend of color and small footprint, Dottie is ideal for customers who want showy, two‑tone blooms rather than traditional single‑shade flowers, without needing fragrance to carry the appeal.
