Description of the plant:
This rose is probably one of the most popular polyantha rose by Kordes. Its name means gardener´s delight and if you like strong and vibrant colours you will understand. The flowers are fully double, raspberry pink-red, rain-resistant, and appear in profusion from early summer until early autumn. Foliage is deep green and unbelievably glossy as if made of glass. Awarded ADR in 2001 this rose is fully disease-resistant.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.
