Eleganza® roses combine classic hybrid tea blooms with the modern disease resistance of easy-care shrub roses! They offer stunningly beautiful blossoms, glossy green foliage and a generous bloom cycle.

This rose is the perfect marriage of delightful fragrance and wonderful disease resistance! The 4-inch high-centered blooms offer a gorgeous blend of pinks that will take your breath away. And the scent, although not overwhelming, is rather complex. When they first open, they entice you with a sweet, classic rose fragrance, but as the petals begin to unfurl, it changes to reveal notes of myrrh and incense. It's a lovely combination!

Even when not covered in perfect pink blossoms, you'll love having this blackspot-resistant rose around. It's bushy, upright habit of dark green leaves is simply beautiful. Reaching a height of about 4 feet and width of 3 feet, it will fit in nicely almost anywhere.

Prune in spring, removing old canes and dead or damaged wood and cutting back canes that cross each other. In warmer climates, the remaining canes can be cut back by one third. You'll probably have to prune a bit more in colder climates, where it will also benefit from winter protection. Apply a controlled release fertilizer in early spring. Plant in moist, well-drained soil in full sun. Zones 5-9. Var: KORsteflali (Plant Patent #23,570).
