Planting and care recommendations

• Location: Plant in a place with good sunlight

• Soil: Neutral pH soil (or slightly acidic to neutral) is suitable. Good drainage is important – it does not like prolonged moisture at root level.

• Watering: If there is a drier period, water regularly.

• Fertilising: For abundant flowering, it is recommended to apply a fertiliser suitable for roses in spring and repeat at the beginning of summer.

• Pruning: Prune the shrub in spring — remove damaged and old shoots, and shape the bush properly. This will encourage healthy growth and flower production.

• Disease prevention: Although the variety has very good disease resistance, as a preventive measure it is recommended to remove faded flowers and ensure good air circulation between shrubs.
