  Diplolaena grandiflora - Wild Rose

A Western Australian shrub, notable for the showy hanging red to orange flowers from autumn to spring. The blooms make great cut flowers. The leaves are also attractive, dark green above and furry grey underneath.
Needs good drainage and a sunny to partly shaded position. Light pruning after flowering is beneficial. Feed with a low phosphorus native fertiliser in spring. Short lived in humid areas. Mulch to keep the soil cool and to deter weed growth.
