Description of the plant:
Hella® is a healthy and vigorous climbing rose from Kordes. It produces profusion of medium-sized, semi-double, lightly fragrant, white flowers from early summer until early autumn. Leaves are usually healthy with limited or no affection of common rose diseases. They are deep green and glossy, and densely cover the upright canes without defoliating bottom parts. The plant reaches between 2.5 and 3 meters and is suitable for pergolas and patios where it can create a romantic screen. Unpruned branches are slightly arching.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: rambling or climbing roses are not supposed to be pruned. Just remove old or ill branches. Deadheading will help setting new flower buds.
