Description of the plant:
Rouge Meilove® is an attractive, compact floribunda rose from Meilland breeding. It bears medium-sized, deep red flowers and extremely healthy, disease-resistant foliage. Flowers come out in June and the plant keeps producing new buds in flushes throughout the season.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 don’t need hard pruning. Just remove weak or dead branches and cut it lightly to strong framework in spring. To support extra flowering during the season remove twigs past blossom: cut them off the first leaf with 5 bracts. Mulch well before winter, preferably with leaf-mould.
