Description
The 'Roselily Samuela' lily is a variety with double flowers that belongs to the oriental group of lilies. It produces large white, pollen-free, lightly scented flowers. The centre of the flower is infused with pale yellow, which can be seen as a halo and as faint traces in the middle of the multiple petals. This robust oriental lily faithfully blooms in well-drained soil without limestone, in a flower bed, in a pot, or even in a large rockery.
The Lillium genus belongs to the Liliaceae family, its representatives are bulbous plants whose deciduous vegetation disappears in winter. In spring, leafy stems emerge from the ground and form a narrow, vertical clump. 'Roselily Samuela' is a horticultural hybrid obtained by cross-breeding various species native to the Far East. This plant reaches a height of about 1m to 1.20m when in bloom, and the clump spreads indefinitely over time, with the bulbs producing bulblets through vegetative multiplication. In August, outward-facing umbels of flowers appear and are well-displayed. They are trumpet-shaped and very wide, measuring up to 25cm in diameter, and very pleasantly scented. The sturdy stems are covered with alternate, dark green, shiny, lance-shaped leaves.
Oriental lilies are a bit more challenging to grow than Asian lilies if the conditions are not right. They need well-drained soil, rich in humus. Any soil that retains winter moisture is harmful to the bulbs. They do not like chalky soils, and the colours are more intense in acidic soil. Partial shade, especially in the afternoon, helps prolong the duration and preserve the brightness of the flowers. For a harmonious flower bed, combine Lilium 'Roselily Samuela' with lilies in shades of yellow, white, gladioli, or daylilies. Incorporating grasses and perennial plants around the lily is beneficial for shading the soil and stabilising the stems against wind and rain. It can also be grown on the edge of a grove, surrounded by small bushes such as rhododendrons or azaleas. This lily is also perfect for creating beautiful bouquets.

Planting and care
The 'Roselily Samuela' lily does not like chalky, poorly drained, and heavy soils. Plant it in full sun, with the base in the shade, preferably in spring, burying the bulbs 15 cm deep in a pocket of soil mixed with leaf compost. Surround them with a pocket of sand that will prevent rot and attacks from slugs, while allowing them to grow more easily. Mark the planting location, as vegetation only starts in April. Discreetly stake the stems when they reach 30 cm high. Some shade in the afternoon during summer is appreciated to maintain colour intensity.
If red lilt beetles appear, treat them immediately, as their larvae can devour all the leaves. The most effective method is to catch them manually but be careful, they drop as soon as you touch them, so put a box underneath.
After flowering, it is a good idea to cut the faded flowers halfway to keep the bed beautiful during summer.
Tip for planting lilies in compact soil: The scaly bulbs of large lilies are sensitive to clay soils that suffocate them and cause rot. In Eastern Europe, the following technique is used to help these bulbs survive the winter. Plant them on 'benches' built above ground level. These benches consist of a layer of gravel, on which tightly packed branches are placed. Then cover everything with a thick layer of compost, 20 to 30 cm deep. Plant the bulbs in the compost, on which a few ground-covering plants can also crawl.
On the terrace, you can create magnificent pots with lilies. Choose a container that is large and deep enough (at least 16 cm in diameter for 1 bulb). Fill it with a mixture of leaf compost and sand. Plant the lilies in groups of 3 to 5 bulbs, 10-15 cm apart, then water thoroughly. Place the pots in a cool room or outside once the frost has passed. The ambient temperature should be around 12°C. When the shoots appear, move the pot to a bright conservatory or room with a temperature of around 18°C. Apply liquid fertiliser twice a month until the flower buds appear.

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).

- In zones 9 to 10 (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), flowering will occur about 2 to 4 weeks earlier.
- In zones 6 to 7 (Germany, Poland, Slovenia, and lower mountainous regions), flowering will be delayed by 2 to 3 weeks.
- In zone 5 (Central Europe, Scandinavia), blooming will be delayed by 3 to 5 weeks.
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, United Kingdom, Ireland, Netherlands).
