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 completely disease-resistant. The plant height is derived from the height of stem the top is grafted on since the crown does not grow upwards but sideways and weeping.Planting instructions: Plant it in the same level as it is now in the container. Provide a good support for the stem. Water it well and mulch it for winter. Roses tolerate wide range of soils but thrive in deep, humus-rich, moist but well-drained soil, in full sun. If you live in a region with harsh and long winters protect the crown and the grafting point with white woven.
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.
