Registration name: Ripchase
Exhibition name: Steve Chase

Bred by Robert Neil Rippetoe (United States, 2006).

Floribunda.  

Orange blend.  Mild fragrance.  Medium, full (26-40 petals), borne mostly solitary bloom form.  Blooms in flushes throughout the season.  Medium buds.  

Medium, bushy, spreading.  Medium, glossy, dark green foliage.  

Height: 2' to 3' (60 to 90cm).  Width: 2' to 3' (60 to 90cm).

USDA zone 6b through 9b (default).  Can be used for beds and borders, container rose, cut flower, exhibition, garden, hedge, landscape or shrub.  Remove spent blooms to encourage re-bloom.  Spring Pruning: Remove old canes and dead or diseased wood and cut back canes that cross. In warmer climates, cut back the remaining canes by about one-third. In colder areas, you'll probably find you'll have to prune a little more than that.  

Like a smaller growing and more brightly colored version of 'Little Darling'. Blossoms born singly and in clusters.

Named for famed Interior Designer, Humanitarian and Philanthropist Stephen Barret Chase of Rancho Mirage, CA
