Papagena^® is a modern tea-hybrid rose from New Zealand, bred by Samuel Darragh McGredy IV in 1994. It bears medium-sized, lightly scented flowers that are orange-red with irregular yellow stripes. Each flower is unique. Deciduous leaves are deep green, very glossy and new growths are always striking purple-red. It grows into a compact bush about 80 cm tall and 100 cm wide.
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: It does not need pruning like tea hybrids. Just cut last year’s growth by one third to maximum one half in the spring (after frosts) to achieve desired shape, and strong and reliable framework. Cutting it back to 3-5 live buds is possible for re-juvenating. To support extra flowering during the season remove twigs past blossom: cut them off the first leaf with 5 bracts. Mulch well before winter, preferably with leaf-mould.
