RED LEONARDO DA VINCI^® is fantastic red polyantha (floribunda) rose from France, bred by Meilland International in 2005. It is a cross between Rote Max Graf, Cassandra, and Bonica. It bears medium-sized, deep red, fully double, lightly scented flowers which come out from early June almost continuously until the first frost. The foliage of this rose is extremely healthy and disease-resistant so the leaves are very dark green and glossy all season long, emerging dark wine red which is the same colour of young twigs.

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. During the flowering season regular feeding is recommended.

Pruning: Regular deadheading during the flowering season will enhance production of new flower buds - remove stems with spent flowers above the first leaf with 5 leaflets where the stem is strong and does not bend. Hard prune the whole shrub in early spring after frosts to 3-5 live buds above the ground.
