Rosa 'BONICA'® polyantha rose

Bonica® is a polyantha rose of upright growth from French breeder Marie L. Meilland, and was born already in 1982. It produces numerous, double, soft pink flowers from June until frost. It bears healthy foliage and is exceptionally hardy.

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: These roses needn’t be pruned, yet they can be trimmed lightly in spring to encourage new growths and more compact bush. Deadheading spent flowers above the first leaf with 5 leaflets is recommended.
