Floraison de septembre - image 1

Thanks to the individuals (for order preparation and shipping service), the received rose bush is small but appears healthy to me. Planted near the 'Innocencia' variety, I am now looking forward to seeing its progress... Note: Received with the variety label (essential for identifying the rose bush in all seasons).

The 'Rose du Soleil' rose, as splendid as it is robust, is a true ground cover rose, low and wide, that disappears for months under a cloud of small white cups with golden hearts. Its small wild roses bloom abundantly and continuously, even hiding its very pretty foliage at the height of its flowering in June-July. Perfectly hardy and highly resistant to diseases, this rose from the 'Sans contraintes' series requires little attention and care from even the most novice gardener. It can fit anywhere, forming white carpets in front of taller shrubs, in large borders along pathways or a beautiful planter on the balcony.
The 'Rose du Soleil' (Korlitare) flowers, gathered in terminal clusters, come from the polyantha rose, an old hybrid resulting from Rosa multiflora and Rosa chinensis. This excellent German variety has won several awards in international competitions, including the prestigious and highly selective German ADR label in 2003 for its perfect disease resistance, among other criteria. It was only introduced to the market in 2005 by the German rose breeder Kordes. Kordes' 'Sans Contraintes' roses grow independently and will reward the little care they receive a hundredfold.
This low and wide bush has a dense habit, well-branched vegetation, and develops spreading branches covered in thorns. In a few years, it will reach approximately 30-40 cm (12-16in) in height with a spread of 60-70 cm (24-28in), or even a little more if left to grow freely without pruning. The single flowers with 5 petals measuring 3 to 4 cm (1 to 2in) in diameter, gathered in clusters, are produced abundantly and continuously from June to October if the soil remains moist in summer. In this 'Rose du Soleil' variety, the petals form an open cup with a beautiful heart populated with golden stamens. The plant develops elegant, dense foliage from spring, with small, thick, shiny leaflets ranging from bright green to dark green. The leaves turn yellow in autumn before falling.
The 'Rose du Soleil' rose is extremely hardy and adapts to all soils that are not too dry and to all climates, making it suitable for many regions. Plant it in borders, flower beds, planters on the patio, or a large slope where it will cover the ground. It can also be planted in groups of 3 plants, arranged in a triangle, isolated on a lawn in a small garden. Plant it in groups or alongside other ground cover roses of different colours to highlight a pathway or in borders of shrubs and perennials. For example, it can be paired with hardy geraniums (Geranium Blue Cloud, Anne Folkard, Nimbus, Orion), bellflowers (lactiflora, rapunculoides), catmints, foxgloves, or other perennial salvias. It blends perfectly with shrub roses to add a romantic touch to your garden.

Botanical data
Planting your rose requires some preparation. Begin by working the soil to a depth of 25 cubic cm and adding a base amendment like blood, fish, and bone to the bottom of the planting hole. Remove the plant from its pot and position it by covering the top of the root ball with 3 cm (1in) of soil. Refill the hole and water generously to eliminate any air pockets. It's essential to water the rose regularly for a few weeks during dry weather to help the roots grow. Use a special rose fertiliser that stimulates plant flowering. Choose a sunny location or partial shade to plant your rose in hot regions.
Roses may develop unsightly spots at the end of summer, but this is a natural occurrence and doesn't harm the rose's growth.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
