Growing the Kordes Perfecta RoseGrowing the Kordes Perfecta Rose

Kordes Perfecta is a fragrant pink blossom with vigorous, shrubby growth. Like many tea roses, Kordes Perfecta grows well from cuttings and will reach a mature size in just a year or two. Although many gardeners consider it fussy, Kordes Perfecta is resistant to most diseases and will thrive if provided with a fertile bed with full or partial sun exposure. But it does require regular feeding and pruning to prolong its blooming period and look its best.

To start off, fill a 3-inch round pot with potting soil and drizzle water onto the potting soil until the top half feels moderately moist when probed. Allow the moisture to distribute throughout the soil for a minimum of 10 minutes.
