Description of the plant
Rotilia® is a polyantha rose with deep crimson red flowers that make a flowering carpet from June well through October. It is an absolutely healthy, disease-resistant variety, awarded ADR in 2002.
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.
Growing conditions and care
Pruning: These roses needn’t be pruned. What you can do though is deadhead stems with spent flowers above the first leaf with 5 leaflets.
