Bengali^® is a beautiful Kordes rose. It belongs to floribunda/polyantha group, however, it makes quite large flowers that are 6 cm across, rich orange in buds, light salmon pink and apricot orange when opened, and pale pink when fading out. Although polyantha roses are usually not fragrant, this one has a lovely tea and fruit perfume. The flowers are double and burst out from June until first frost. Leaves are incredibly healthy, highly resistant to common diseases. Bengali^® grows about 1m tall and 50 cm wide. Awarded with ADR in 2010.

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 needn’t be pruned. What you can do though is deadhead stems with spent flowers above the first leaf with 5 leaflets. You can trim the shrub in early spring.
