Description of the plant:
Knirps® is a fantastic groundcovering rose myde by Kordes in 1997. It has 5cm wide, bright pink flowers making an eternal carpet that flowers profusely from June till October. Very strong and healthy, absolutely disease-free.Recommended spacing: 5 plants per square meter.
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.
