Description of the plant:
Larisa® is a Kordes novelty from 2008. It is a compact, polyantha rose with medium-sized, soft pink, semi-double flowers. This rose is very healthy and does not need any treatment against usual rose diseases. Awarded ADR in 2008. It flowers from early summer until mid autumn. 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.
