Description of the plant:
White roses has never been out of fashion. That is why breeders keep coming up with new varieties with improved features. Innocencia® is a popular polyantha rose by Kordes. It bears small, single, moderately fragrant flowers from June until first frost. It is self-cleaning i.e. the flower petals fall down long before they begin to fade and turn brown. It is absolutely resistant to black spot and powdery mildew.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, just shape the plant in early spring to a nice shrub. What you can do though is deadhead stems with spent flowers above the first leaf with 5 leaflets to encourage new flowering.
