Some important gardener, can't remember who, once said Rozanne was "boring" since it flowered on and on and on etc. I love it, but it does need a goodly space. I also have to support mine since they can flop over others, or the lawn edge.
The reason this particular Gerannium has such a long flowering season, so I was once told, is because a grower managed to cross an early flowerer with a later flowerer and it has kept both characteristics.
Anyway I wouldn't be without it. Haven't tried it in a basket but might be good as it would probably trail over the edges whilst keeping some bulk above it.
...I don't think that's quite correct....Rozanne Waterer found it growing in her garden...the reason for the long flowering season is that it's a sterile hybrid...doesn't set seed.... that's what I've read... I think it's a bit overrated, personally...
Mmmm, never thought of a geranium Rozanne in a basket. It could be a good idea and I suspect it will flop over the sides so would look good. Since the root ball will be central (assuming you are going for just one in a basket), you would be able to plant up some trailers around the edges - maybe some blue lobelia, or something contrasting like a pink Diascia or yellow Bidens?
Hi,I agree with Lancashire Lass comment,I have never thought of Rozanne as a Basket plant however it's probably a good idea to try.I too would plant some trailing plants with it,white Bacopa would look terrific with Rozanne,nice contrast,or even the blue Bacopa would look lovely....umm,I will try this myself for next summer's basket display,I love hanging baskets,have loads planted up,sure Rozanne in a basket would probably look terrific.

Oh, I like the way G. Elke fades to almost white at the edge of the petals. Now where can I squeeze that in!
