Description of the plant:
During a rose show in 2005 one of the world top supermodels was given an extraordinary privilege: to choose among 15 rose the one she liked best. She was Heidi Klum and the rose was named after her. Heidi Klum® rose is a beautiful variety of striking colour and lovely perfume. Its flowers are fully double, just like English roses, rich magenta purple, and have a lightly spicy yet sweet fragrance. Leaves are mid green and glossy. Medium resistance to diseases, regular care is recommended.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 a wide range of soils but thrive in deep, humus-rich, moist but well-drained soil, in full sun.
Pruning: Cut the branches in halves in autumn and prune hard to 3-5 live buds in spring after danger of frosts.
