Sevillana is a hybrid floribunda shrub rose bred by Marie-Louise (Louisette) Meilland of France in 1969. Parentage is Seed parent: ('MEIbrim' x 'Jolie Madame' x 'Zambra'® x 'Zambra'®) and Pollen parent: ('Tropicana' x 'Tropicana') x ('Poppy Flash' x 'Rusticana'®). It is a member of the rose family (Rosaceae). This bushy, dense, spreading shrub will grow 4-6 feet tall and 3-5 feet wide and prefers full sun but will tolerate some shade. Plant in fertile, well-drained, moist soil and prune late winter to early spring. Remove old, damaged, diseased or crossed canes and prune to 1/3 their size. Fertilize in spring and summer. Allow good air flow to help prevent diseases. The 3-inch, crimson-red to orange-red flowers are semi-double with 9-16 petals and a slight fragrance. Rose hips are produced if some of the fall flowers are not pruned off. The foliage is a semi-glossy bronze-green on stems with prickles. Use this rose in borders, mass planted, as a low hedge in a cottage cutting or pollinator garden.
