Description of the plant:
Roseromantic® is another rose you would probably found growing at the tower where Sleeping Beauty snoozed while waiting for Princ Charming. It was bred by Reimer Kordes (†1997) in 1985 as a polyantha (floribunda) shrub rose. Its stunning flowers are so simple, they are single, pale pink to almost white with richer pink margins and lower petals, especially towards the end of the season, 8-10 cm across, and flower continuously from June till October. Deciduous leaves are absolutely healthy, dark green, and glossy.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.
