Tuscany Superb is a beautiful country-type rose, probably a sport of Tuscany rose to which it is very similar but less bushy and a little taller (grows to about 1.5m). The flowers are larger with more petals, deep crimson or burgundy red fading to purple. Yellow stamens are not very conspicuous but very elegant and attractive. It has a pleasant, not too strong scent. Non repeating.
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: before winter you can cut the branches to half and in the spring cut them back to the height of 3-5 live buds. Thus you can be sure that all branches will be fresh and fully leafed. If you want a tall shrub just cut off frozen ends and leave only strong branches. To support extra flowering during the season remove twigs past blossom: cut them off the first leaf with 5 bracts. Mulch well before winter.
