Description of the plant:
Moonlight® is a short climbing rose from Kordes new generation of climbing roses Kletter Maxe. It offers continuous production of flowers throughout the summer season until early autumn. The fragrant flowers are medium sized, rich yellow as they open, maturing to light banana yellow with a hint of coppery orange and salmon pink. They look like stars on the background of very deep green, glossy foliage. Mature size is about 2.5m.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.
