Rose 'Caramella'

Deliciously sweet caramel shades with blushes of apricot and strawberry. This hardy new beauty has three to five very full (40 or more petals) blooms on a stem. It has an old world charm and repeats throughout the season.

A Modern Shrub Rose from Kordes with excellent vigour and disease resistance. The flowers have great substance and last well, they rate a 1/5 on our fragrance scale, so you really have to get your nose in there to detect a perfume.

Rose bushes are upright, elegant shrubs that are adorned twice a year with spectacular, showy blooms.

The basics of rose care are simply ...

1. Keep the plants moist at all times, but never allow the roots to sit in water.

2. Feed generously, and frequently, two or three times over the flowering season.

3. Keep pests to a minimum (this is usually not a problem if you start with a strong variety, and keep it well watered and well fed).

4. Prune back once a year.

5. Keep the area around the roots weed free, and ensure 4-6 hours of sun per day. Loamy soils are ideal, though Roses will grow in heavy top soils (if well drained) and sandy soils (if kept watered and fed more frequently). For Roses to thrive, good drainage is critical.

When providing your roses with a supporting show and companion planting try and leave a bit of space around their root zone clear.
