Rosa 'FAIREST CAPE'® shrub rose by KORDES

Fairest Cape® is another attractive rose by Kordes with multicoloured blooms. They are medium-sized, 8-10 cm across, buds open from reddish-pink to salmon-pink with deep yellow centres that fade to apricot orange. This tea hybrid has some fragrance and repeats flowering. It should be checked and treated against diseases as and if needed.

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: Cut the branches in halves in autumn and prune hard to 3-5 live buds in spring after danger of frosts.
