Description of the plant:
Dolly Dot® is a modern polyantha/shrub rose. It has profusion of bright yellow flowers from early summer through to autumn. As many yellow-flowering floribundas/polyanthas it needs protection from fungi diseases in warm and wet weather.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.
