PLANTING, POSITION AND PREPARATION
Roses require 5-6 hours of full sun per day for best performance. Roses tolerate a wide range of soil types, but your garden bed must be well drained. If your soil is lacking in quality or drainage, mix a premium potting mix or mulch or your own compost into your soil. Dig a hole approx 500 x 500 x 300mm deep. Plant your rose halfway up the main trunk, do not cover the graft or the trunk where branches begin. Water in well. If winter rains do not occur, water your rose every two weeks. Do not feed your rose at this time. Feed during early spring with a well balanced slow release fertiliser.
Unusual colour of deep velvet brick red with changes throughout season. Pointed buds of deep rust unfurl to reveal a chocolate haze of velvety smoked tones that can even take on a purple hue. Spectacular colour.
Foliage is dark and glossy, with good growth. Slight fragrance. Medium sized, disease resistant bush.
