INKA^® is a large flowered, floribunda rose bred by Christian Evers in 2008 who took over Rosen Tantau as a fourth manager in a row after the death of his father, breeder, and 3rd manager Hans-Jürgen Evers in 2007. INKA^® flowers are bright yellow to golden yellow, fully double, and have weak to moderate fragrance. Self-cleaning. Leaves are deep green, highly glossy and very healthy. This rose makes a bushy, upright shrub about one meter tall.

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.
