Enchanted or bewitched? Either or, once you see Abracadabra^® you have no escape. This beautiful rose puts its magic on you and won't let go until you take a bow in admiration of its beauty. Now, seriously. Abracadabra^® is a floribunda rose from Kordes released in 2014. It produces mid-sized, semi-double flowers stripped red and white with a little bit yellow spell in the centre. The fragrance is fruity, somewhat citrus, not very strong. Repeated flowering guarantees flower production from June until October on an upright shrub. Leaves are quite resistant to black spot and may be affected by mildew in summers.

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, or rejuvenate older plants by hard pruning to 3-5 live buds above the ground.
