Description of the plant:
So elegant and yet classy is this hybrid tea rose by Kordes from 2014. It makes so beautiful and large flowers with creamy white petals which are light yellow in the centre and light pink towards the margins. Perfume is weak and fresh. Repeated flowering guarantees flower production from June until October on an upright shrub. Leaves can be prone to black spot in wet and compacted ground, or affected by mildew in too dry soil, but grown in good conditions the plant is usually trouble-free.Planting instructions: Prepare a hole of size 30x30 cm. Put your rose in the way that the grafting point is 3 cm deep in the soil. Water well and cover new shoots with soil or bark mulch about 15 cm high. Roses tolerate wide range of soils but thrive in deep, humus-rich, moist but well-drained soil, in full sun.
Pruning: Regular deadheading during the flowering season will enhance production of new flower buds - remove stems with spent flowers above the first leaf with 5 leaflets where the stem is strong and does not bend. Hard prune the whole shrub in early spring after frosts to 3-5 live buds above the ground.
