Rosa 'KORberonem' MADAME ANISETTE® hybrid tea shrub rose (Kordes)

MADAME ANISETTE® is a hybrid tea rose from the Parfuma® series by Kordes Rosen from Germany. It makes large, about 8 cm wide, fully double flowers of cream to pale apricot petals. They open from early June and appear repeatedly in several flushes throughout the season. It makes strong, upright stems about 80 cm tall and forms a dense shrub with healthy, deep green, and glossy foliage.

It was bred by Tim Hermann Kordes and introduced with the name MADAME ANISETTE® in reference to the strong anis perfume of the flowers. Only in France it was released named as Madame de la Vallière. She was a mistress of French King Louis XIV, and many references as well as paintings prove that she was as pretty and gentle as this rose. US patent No. PP26747 was granted in 2016.

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: Cut the branches by about a half in autumn and prune hard to 3-5 live buds in spring after all frosts. Spent flowers are best removed as they begin to fade. Cut off spent flowering clusters just above the leaf with 5 leaflets or deeper if rejuvenating is desired during vegetation and follow a regular feeding programme. MADAME ANISETTE® is hardy enough to thrive in a planter, too.
