Description
We offer you this wonderful 'Nature Duo', the meeting between two hardy, vigorous and floriferous plants that are naturally complementary. The carmine pink dog rose flowers of the 'Mozart' rose blend with the purple foliage and exquisite white-pink trumpet flowers of the 'Husker Red' penstemon. This refined little scene adds a touch of charm to even the most modest flower bed, or the most intimate garden. With generosity and simplicity, here is the winning duo to integrate into a wild-looking garden, or to create the structure of a wonderful romantic or English-style flower bed!
This kit consists of:
-1x Bare root Mozart old rose: a worry-free and cheerful shrub rose, with countless small carmine pink wild roses with white centres. This variety forms a diffuse, arched and diverging bush, about 1.5m (5ft) high and 1.3m (4ft) wide, sometimes more depending on growing conditions. Its flowering is very long and continuous, from June-July to October-November. Particularly resistant to diseases and fast-growing, it is perfect as a free-standing hedge, it thrives everywhere, even in mountain gardens.
- 3x 'Husker Red' hybrid Penstemon: a very hardy, vigorous and floriferous perennial with spectacular purple foliage and exquisite trumpet-shaped flowers, white-pink. This graceful beauty forms an erect, bushy clump, measuring 60 to 70cm (24 to 28in) tall, with a spread of about 30 to 50cm (12 to 20in).
Plant this Nature Duo in a sunny flower bed, or in partial shade in the afternoon in our warmer regions. There are plenty of ideas for combinations to create a large flower bed, according to each gardener's taste. You can embellish it with blue bellflowers, Damascus nigellas, Bristol Fairy gypsophila (white) or Rosenschleier gypsophila (pink), place it against the cloud cabbage (Crambe cordifolia) and the 'Powis Castle' shrubby mugwort, in a large English-style flower bed, blooming for months. Also consider the Lychnis coronaria Angel's Blush or viscaria Splendens. In a wilder setting, its combination with certain grasses such as Muhlenbergia capillaris or Eragrostis spectabilis or alchemilla mollis will be superb. Once well established, this sturdy and hardy duo will only require regular pruning to remove faded flowers and pruning in late winter for the rose.

Planting and care
Position these plants in the sun, in a well-prepared, light and well-draining soil.
Â
Plant your 'Mozart' Rose in a sunny or lightly shaded location. Old roses are tolerant but do not appreciate excess limestone and dry soils. They will adapt to any garden as long as the soil is well-worked, not too heavy, and rich enough. To plant your rose, work the soil by crumbling it and put an amendment at the bottom of the planting hole, such as bonemeal. Water generously after planting to remove air pockets. Water regularly for a few weeks to facilitate rooting.
The 'Husker Red' Cilium Penstemon is ideally placed in a sunny or semi-shaded location. It appreciates light, rich, well-drained soils, from dry to moist. It tolerates limestone, and slightly acidic soil is also suitable. They are easy to cultivate and only require a little attention due to their relative intolerance to winter moisture. Truly hardy, it can withstand temperatures down to about -30°C (1°F). Do not cut back the clump at the end of the season, as its semi-evergreen foliage plays a role in regulating soil moisture. It is possible to protect its base with a mulch, at the beginning of winter, with a dry mulch (bed of dead leaves), and/or crushed sand and gravel, for better drainage and to prevent collar rot caused by excess moisture. Planting can be done in autumn or spring. Light fertilization at installation is beneficial, but avoid it afterwards, as it may result in weak and loose Penstemon stems. Rather resistant to diseases, Penstemons can, however, be subject to powdery mildew, downy mildew, and be attacked by snails, slugs, and chrysanthemum nematodes.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
