Rosa Larissa

True symbol of love and romance, with an extremely delicate flowering, <strong>the rose is the queen of flowers.</strong> It is one of the most cultivated plants in gardens. <strong>It is appreciated for its single or double flowers, often highly fragrant</strong>, and its superb divided foliage, deciduous or semi-evergreen. Flowers range from white to red, but can also be yellow, orange, or even mauve... There is even a nearly black rose, with the variety ‘Black Baccara’! Whatever their colour, roses always possess exceptional elegance, making them a key element in romantic gardens and English-style gardens. <strong>With several thousand varieties, roses offer beautiful diversity!</strong> The most classic are bush and shrub roses, which easily find their place in borders or beds, but other varieties grow as groundcover, while climbing roses scale pergolas or the facades of houses. As for standard roses, they add a very elegant touch to the garden and are perfect as standalone specimens, for example in a lawn. <strong>Planting roses</strong> is possible all year round, but <strong>is preferably done in autumn in cool, well-draining soil</strong> rich in organic matter. The smaller varieties adapt well to pot cultivation! Roses require a bit of maintenance to provide generous flowering. <strong>It is advisable to provide them with fertiliser, carry out some watering during dry spells, and to prune them.</strong> They are susceptible to rust, powdery mildew, and black spot disease, and may require some treatments.
