Floribunda rose 'Marc Chagall'

What is the plant

Marc Chagall rose is a spectacular rose with large, delicately clustered flowers, with harmonious striations and various shades of pink, delicately mixed with pale yellow. It has up to 25 petals and a double (17-25 petals) bloom form.

Floribunda (Latin for "many-flowering") is a modern group of garden roses that was developed by crossing hybrid teas with polyantha roses, the latter being derived from crosses between Rosa chinensis and Rosa multiflora. The idea was to create roses that bloomed with the polyantha profusion, but with hybrid tea floral beauty and colour range. The first polyantha/hybrid tea cross, 'Rödhätte' ('Red Riding Hood'), was introduced by the Danish breeder Dines Poulsen in 1907. It possessed characteristics of both its parent classes, and was initially called a Hybrid Polyantha or Poulsen rose. Typical floribundas feature stiff shrubs, smaller and bushier than the average hybrid tea but less dense and sprawling than the average polyantha. The flowers are often smaller than hybrid teas but are carried in large sprays, giving a better floral effect in the garden.

How to Care for the Plant

Water
Water plant once or twice a week, supplementing the natural rainfall. Water deeply and aim for the base of the plant. Roses require 4-5 gallons of water per week during the growing season. Shallow watering may cause the development of weak roots.
Fertilizer
Fertilize floribunda roses each spring once new growth appears. Use a rose-specific fertilizer and follow label directions carefully. Rose fertilizer is available as a liquid concentrate and as pellets. Liquid concentrate is mixed with water and poured at the base of the plant. Pellet form fertilizer is shaken on the soil around the plant. Either application is effective; pellets are applied less often than the liquid concentrate.
Sunlight
All roses prefer a spot in your garden that receives at least six to eight hours of full sun a day.

Soil
Provide a rich, organic, well-drained soil. Shovel a 1- to 3-inch layer of mulch on top of the soil surrounding the floribunda rose; this helps the plant retain moisture and limits weed growth.
Temperature
The plant can be grown in the areas with the lowest winter temperatures of −28.9°C (−20°F). But they need to be boxed up and buried in ground for protection.
