Oh Happy Day® is not only a gospel, in the horticultural world it is also a beautiful and unique rose bred by Kordes. It is a tea hybrid shrub rose producing large, fragrant flowers, though the breeder himself does not consider this variety too fragrant. We experienced very pleasant, medium strong, tea and fruity perfume. The flowers are 8-10 cm across, apricot orange inside, pale beige outside with a pink saucer. In hot summer the flowers are paler, and in late summer and autumn when the days get colder the depth of colours significantly increases. Leaves are very dark green, glossy and extremely healthy. Oh Happy Day® was introduced in 2015 and awarded ADR in 2013.
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 half in autumn and prune hard to 3-5 live buds in spring after danger of frosts. During the flowering season prune flowered stems regularly.
