Description of the plant:
Pomponella is one of the incredible rose achievements by Kordes introduced in 2005. It is a floribunda shrub rose from the Fairy Tale Roses series. The flowers are dark pink, fully double, and before they open wide they remain in a peony-type phase for some time which is the most attractive show. Flowers are formed in arching clusters like pompons and are produced in profusion from late spring until early autumn. Leaves are dark green, partly glossy, and very healthy. Pomponella was awarded with many awards and certificates (15 so far), as well as the most important: ADR guaranteeing that this rose is reliable and healthy even neglected. 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 a 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, only rejuvenated if required: cut the branches in half in autumn, and prune hard to 3-5 live buds in spring after danger of frosts.
