Description of the plant:
Princess of Wales is a shrub rose with almost white flowers with a very slight pink overlay and repeat flowering from early summer until the last warm and sunny days of autumn. It has a lovely tea rose fragrance. It is reasonably resistant against usual rose diseases, however, in the peak season it may need your help.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 back last year´s stems to 3-5 live buds to enhance all new growth. Deadhead spent flowers regularly for richer and continuous flowering.
