Description
| Cultivar: | White Licorice |
| Class: | Floribunda |
Don't let the pastel hues fool you. This quiet color packs a powerful punch of unparalleled perfume…a sweet licorice & lemon blossom aroma that will make you tingle with delight. A bouquet-making machine-of-a-plant with wonderfully formed buds that open into big wavy wonders set atop sturdy stems clothed with dark green leaves. Bushy & beautifully branched, the plant looks as good in the garden as the flowers do in a vase. More yellow when cool…more white when warm.
Care
| Sun Needs: | Roses bloom the best in full sun. Choose a location with at least 6 hours of sun per day. Morning sun is more kind to the plant. |
| Soil/Water Needs: | Rich, sandy loam is the preferred soil for roses. Amend difficult soils with humus, or consider building up the beds to ensure good drainage. Roses will not tolerate soggy, wet roots. Provide a slow, deep soaking with each irrigation. Sandy soils require more watering than clay soils. Hot temperatures should prompt more frequent irrigation. Only wet the foliage in very early morning hours. |
