Pollination Info - Campfire Rose (Rosa 'CA 29')

Campfire Rose (Rosa 'CA 29') is a hybrid shrub rose that requires pollination to produce fruit and seeds. This variety is self-sterile, which means it can't pollinate its own flowers. It needs the help of pollen from another genetically different rose plant for successful pollination.

The main pollinators of Campfire Rose are bees, especially honeybees and bumblebees. These insects are attracted to the brightly colored and fragrant flowers of the plant. They pick up the pollen from the anthers when they visit the flowers for nectar and transfer it to the stigma of other flowers, thus pollinating the plant.

It is important to have at least one other rose plant, preferably a different species or variety, in close proximity to Campfire Rose to ensure successful pollination. If there are no other pollinator plants in the vicinity, the plant may fail to produce fruit or may produce deformed fruits.

The best time to pollinate the Campfire Rose is during its blooming season, which is typically in late spring to early summer. The plant should be watered regularly and kept healthy to increase the chances of successful pollination.

In conclusion, Campfire Rose requires cross-pollination for successful fruit production. It is recommended to plant at least one other rose plant nearby to ensure good pollination.
