Rosa 'ROTILIA'® standard rose

Rotilia® is a fantastic polyantha/floribudna rose from Kordes. It produces semi-double, rich red flowers in such profusion that you easily get over the fact that it does not have any perfume. Blooming starts in June and continues until the first frosts. Grafted on a short stem it makes a compact crown with deep green and glossy foliage. It was awarded ADR in 2002 and is highly resistant to most diseases.

Planting instructions: Plant it in the same level as it is now in the container. Provide a good support for the stem. Water it well and mulch it for winter. Roses tolerate wide range of soils but thrive in deep, humus-rich, moist but well-drained soil, in full sun. If you live in a region with harsh and long winters protect the crown and the grafting point with white woven.

Pruning: In spring after danger of all frosts prune the crown lightly to form a solid framework, and remove ill, dry and weak branches.
