Rosa Decorosier Emera - Shrub rose

The Decorosier Emera 'noatraum' rosebush is covered with small, semi-double flowers in a very fresh fuchsia pink colour, very cheerful, grouped in clusters of about ten flowers, visited by bees and butterflies. The show is repeated from late spring until autumn, on foliage that remains impeccable throughout the season. With dense, well-covering vegetation, it provides an exceptional, almost permanent decoration while requiring very little maintenance. Easy, generous, full of freshness, it is suitable for large borders and informal flower beds, where it creates a spectacular mass effect.

DECOROSIERS are shrub roses with a spreading habit. They can be used in many ways: lawn edging, flower beds, slopes or planters. They can be planted in any type of soil, in full sun or partial shade. They offer long exceptional flowering periods on healthy, shiny, semi-evergreen foliage. Their qualities have been rewarded with 8 gold medals and 6 ADR labels. Naturally resistant to diseases, they do not require any treatment.

The 'Emera' (noatraum) rosebush was the first in the excellent range of Decorosiers. It is classified as a modern, shrub and landscape rose. Its clustered flowers come from the Polyantha rose, an old hybrid derived from Rosa multiflora and Rosa chinensis. The plant forms a very dense bush of about 70 cm (28in) in height and 50-60 cm (20-24in) in width, depending on the growing conditions. It is very floriferous and produces an abundance of semi-double to double flowers, measuring 4-5 cm (2in) in diameter, in a bright pink colour. At full bloom, they reveal a dark yellow stamen centre. Its very healthy, semi-evergreen foliage is composed of small, shiny green leaves that cover thorny stems. This variety adapts to any well-prepared soil.

The Emera rosebush can be used in flower beds, borders, large spaces, slopes, or to create large borders. It adapts to all soils that are not too wet and to all climates. It has a bushy growth habit that works well in low shrub borders, alongside other Decorosiers such as Mareva, Opalia. When planted en masse, it will edge pathways and highlight flower beds. It can also be combined with perennial geraniums (Geranium Blue Cloud, Anne Folkard, Nimbus, Orion), campanulas (lactiflora, rapunculoides), catmints, lavenders... Left to grow freely, it will form a very natural-looking bush, perfect for filling a beautiful planter on the patio.

ADR is the label of the German Federation of Rose Breeders. The ADR designation is only given to varieties that have passed the strictest tests in the world. The plants are simultaneously tested at 10 different locations, in various soil and climate conditions for several years. The tests focus on hardiness, perennial nature, and flowering, without the use of any pesticides.
