Rose Elina Standard

Rose Elina Standard Details

The Elina standard rose features cream-yellow flowers held on long stems. The fragrant flowers begin in spring and continue until autumn, provided the spent flowers are removed. The foliage comprises small-sized, dark green leaves which develop yellow tones in autumn before falling and provide a lovely backdrop to the flowers. This standardised rose is grafted at 80 cm which results in a plant that typically grows to 1.3 m tall and 50 cm wide. It is generally pruned each winter with about 75% of the aerial stems removed. It grows best when planted in full sun on a well-drained, sheltered site, and is tolerant of frost and cool climates. It also has very good disease resistance. The Elina standard rose is commonly added to a mixed planting, included in cottage, courtyard, or formal gardens, planted to border an entrance, or included anywhere the beauty and fragrance can be appreciated.
