Rosa Nectar Garden Roseromantic

The 'Roseromantic' rose bush, leader of the 'Fairy' series from Kordes, is a new variety of rose bush that is as lovely as it is floriferous and easy to care for. On this graceful bush adorned with elegant glossy foliage, which is not very susceptible to diseases, refined and luminous bouquets open up, cream suffused with salmon pink around a bouquet of golden yellow stamens. Tireless, the bush blooms continuously and generously for months. Its flared habit works wonders at the front of a bed, along a pathway or terrace, or even in a planter.

The flowers of the Rosa x floribunda 'Roseromantic' or 'Korumneza', gathered in terminal clusters, come from the floribunda rose, an old hybrid resulting from the Rosa multiflora and the Rosa chinensis. This award-winning variety in Belfast, Northern Ireland 2016, was introduced in 2014 by the German rose grower Kordes, whose creations are selected based on their natural disease resistance. 'Roseromantic' is also part of a series of roses dedicated to biodiversity, both decorative, very remontant, robust and appreciated by pollinating insects.

This vigorous little bush has a bushy, dense, supple, and spreading habit. It will reach approximately 70 cm (28in) in height and 60 cm (24in) in width in a few years. The 7 cm (3in) in diameter semi-double flowers are abundantly and continuously produced from May to June to October if the soil remains moist (intense summer drought will not kill the plant, but will prevent it from flowering). They open charmingly in informal cups of petals shaped like shells. A symphony of shades of pink, from pastel pink to salmon pink and light carmine, invades the creamy background of petals surrounding a pretty bouquet of yellow stamens. No flower is the same, but they are all luminous. This variety develops elegant and well-furnished foliage, divided into small ovate and finely toothed leaflets, dark green and shiny, which beautifully enhance the flowering. Its stems are thorny.

The 'Roseromantic' rose bush lives up to its name. It charms no matter how used: along a pathway or in a bed, planted in groups or mixed with other small flowering bushes, in a planter on the terrace or installed above a low wall. The bright colour of its flowers can be combined with all pastel or more vibrant blooms. To accompany it in the garden, choose, for example, perennial geraniums (Geranium Blue Cloud, Anne Folkard, Nimbus, Rozanne, Orion), bellflowers, catmints, lavenders, shrubby wormwoods, perennial salvias, valerians (Centranthus ruber), or even chamomiles. Hardy and robust, it adapts to all soils that are not too dry and all climates, which allows it to be planted almost anywhere.
