Rosa 'COCO'® miniature rose (Kordes)

Coco® is a miniature rose from Kordes Lilliputs® collection which comprises of small and healthy, repeat flowering roses. Coco® produces charming, single flowers of salmon pink colour and yellow centres decorated with rich yellow stamens. I suppose it is easily forgivable that there is no scent whatsoever since who would like to bend over to smell a plant only 30-40 cm tall and wide? It forms an upright, compact and dense shrub with healthy, deep green, glossy foliage.

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: These roses needn’t be pruned. What you can do though is deadhead stems with spent flowers above the first leaf with 5 leaflets. You can trim the shrub in early spring.
