Description of the plant:
Speelwark® is one of my favourite roses. It has gorgeous, large flowers that open as peach golden-yellow and fade to reddish-pink. It has a lovely fragrance. Has to be treated against blackspot. 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 the branches in halves in autumn and prune hard to 3-5 live buds in spring after danger of frosts.
