Rosa Decorosier Emera Noatraum - Standard Rose

The Decorosier Standard Rose Emera noatraum is an easy and generous variety that produces clusters of small semi-double flowers in a beautiful fuchsia pink shade, from late spring to the first frost. This variety has foliage that always remains impeccable and requires very little maintenance. It has been awarded the highly demanding German ADR label for its exceptional disease resistance. Give it a prominent place in the garden or even in a large pot on the patio, it will provide exceptional decoration for many years.

Standard roses are obtained by grafting a variety (in this case the Decorosier Emera rose) onto a single and upright stem belonging to a different rose (Rosa canina, R. laxa or R. multiflora),  with the graft being performed at the top. In very cold regions, it may be useful to protect the rootstock in winter.

The Decorosier Standard Rose Emera belongs to the family of polyantha roses, which produce flowers in clusters. Grafted onto a stem, it shows a characteristic habit, with a slender and upright 'trunk' carrying a globular crown. Its thorny stems bear glossy foliage, divided into small, tough and toothed leaflets of a dark green colour. Its flowering is abundant and regular from May to October-November if it is regularly pruned and provided with enough water. The semi-double flowers are gathered in clusters of about ten, and are 4 to 5 cm (2in) wide. The tightly closed buds bloom into open cups, revealing a small yellow stamen centre. The rose has no fragrance. The plant will more or less retain its leaves in winter if the weather is not too severe.

Decorosier roses are bushy roses with a spreading habit. They can be used in many ways: as lawn borders, in flower beds, on slopes or in planters. They can be planted in any type of soil, in sunny or semi-shady positions. They offer long and exceptional flowering periods on healthy, shiny, semi-evergreen foliage. Naturally resistant to diseases, they do not require any treatment.

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

The Decorosier Emera Standard Rose is a magnificent specimen, to be placed in the centre of a bed of delicate perennials, along a pathway, near the patio, in isolation in a well-kept small garden or in a large pot on the balcony. Its fuchsia colour pairs well with pink, white, mauve or blue flowers. For example, it can be planted in the centre of a bed of groundcover roses, alongside catmints, chamomiles, perennial salvias, foxgloves, penstemons, nigellas or tall gypsophilas. A groundcover composed of silver baskets, stachys or aubrietas will showcase it perfectly.
