Rise'n'Shine is a hybrid miniature shrub rose in the rose family (Rosaceae) bred by Ralph S. Moore in 1977. Parentage is Little Darling x Yellow Magic. This dense, bushy, rounded shrub grows only 1-3 feet tall and wide and prefers full sun in amended, well-drained, moist garden soil. It is somewhat drought-tolerant once established. In late winter to early spring, prune out dead and diseased canes and prune the shrub to 1/3 its size. Provide late spring frost protection to new growth. Deep yellow, fragrant, double flowers occur singly or in clusters and bloom continuously through fall. They are 1-2 inches wide and have 26-40 petals. Rose hips will form if some of the flowers are not pruned off in the fall. Foliage is medium glossy green on stems with prickles. Use this small shrub in a container on the patio, along walkways or other small spaces, in the border front or in groups. Plant in a cutting, cottage or pollinator garden.
