Thanks to the individuals (for order preparation and shipping), the rose bush received appears healthy. Planted near the 'Off-Load' variety, I am now patiently awaiting its growth... (or not?)

Description

The 'Salto' Clustered Flower Rose, highly awarded in Germany, is a cheerful little bush that blooms generously in shades of orange from late spring to the first frost. Its flowers, not quite fully double, open in generous clusters on glossy foliage that remains decorative throughout the season. With good disease resistance and a fairly rare colour, it is also a versatile variety that can be used in various ways, both in the garden and in pots. Definitely worth discovering!

The 'Salto' Rose is a very recent creation developed by Edirose. In a few years, it forms a dense, compact, regular bush with thorny stems, about 70 cm (28in) tall and 50 cm (20in) wide. It has finely cut, shiny green foliage that is not very susceptible to diseases. This deciduous foliage falls in autumn. The flowering is renewed from May-June until October-November, in successive waves, if care is taken to remove faded flowers and if the soil does not dry out too much in summer. The roses, about 5-6 cm (2in) wide, are more or less double, gathered in clusters. The tightly closed buds open into apricot orange cups with a golden heart. The flowering of this rose is only slightly fragrant.

The floribunda roses allow for the creation of beautiful small hedges, planted in a mix along the edge of the terrace or in small shrub beds. Combine them with ground cover roses, abelias, nandinas, or caryopteris, for example. They are good companions for foxgloves and tall baby's breath. The modest size, generosity, and resistance of 'Salto' make it an interesting variety for all gardens, even small ones and for cultivation in pots. Its use is versatile, according to the desires of each gardener: in a rose bed, accompanied by white varieties ('Marie Pavie', 'Swanny') or mauve ones ('Blue Boy', 'Rhapsody in Blue'). Like all roses, it looks stunning mixed with easy-care perennials such as hardy geraniums, catmints, or asters. And its roses are beautiful in small bouquets or centrepieces, with blue or white clematis flowers, for example.

Planting and care

Plant this floribunda rose from November to March, in ordinary, well-loosened and free-draining soil. Roses prefer clayey soils, rather heavy than light. In soil that is too sandy, too compact or too dry in summer, it is preferable to bury compost, decomposed manure or leaf-mould at the bottom of the planting hole. However, this rose dreads waterlogged soils in winter. Place it in a sunny position, at most in partial shade. Roses are greedy plants, a specific rose fertiliser application will be beneficial when the foliage emerges, then regularly during the entire flowering period. 

To encourage re-blooming, regularly remove faded flowers. Floribunda rose varieties are more vigorous and floriferous than large-flowered rose varieties. Therefore, the stems should be pruned to about a quarter of their length (4 to 6 buds from the base of the stem) at the end of winter. Always prune above an outward-facing bud, so that the bush thickens and the branches do not become tangled in the centre of the shrub.
