Rosa 'Wekboroco'

Plant Details:

Plant Type: Shrub
Plant Family: Rosaceae
Plant Description: Medium to small ornamental shrub. Large blooms appear in spring and last into early summer. Flowers are stunningly striped with red and white. Shiny dark-green leaves are very pretty and hold their own even when not in bloom. Grow in fertile soil with moderate amounts of water.

Maintenance:

Maintenance Type: Shrub - Thinning
Plant Care: Shrub - Thinning (woody multi-stemmed plants that lose their leaves every winter and look best on older stems): Prune dead, diseased, or rubbing branches. Pruning is best done in late winter to early spring for most shrubs. With spring blooming shrubs, prune after the blooms are spent. Remove up to 1/3rd of the overall shrub, keeping older branches to build up a sturdy, permanent and picturesque framework. Keep in mind that these shrubs bloom directly on older wood or on shoots that come off old wood. Monitor for pests, diseases, or other ailments on a regular basis.
