The upright 'Leonardo da Vinci', which grows up to about 100 centimeters in height, is one of the shrub roses that bloom frequently and feel at home both in the garden and in the bucket. This fairly new breed develops a great abundance of very double, dark pink flowers. 'Leonardo da Vinci' is considered to be very robust and easy to care for.

The 'Leonardo da Vinci' rose needs a lot of attention in the tub

'Leonardo da Vinci' also feels at home in semi-shade

Like so many other rose varieties, 'Leonardo da Vinci' feels most comfortable in the sun. However, you should not choose a location in full sun, because the plant will quickly get too hot here. A balcony facing south-west or south-east is ideal as a stand, provided you can provide shade if necessary, especially at midday. In addition, 'Leonardo da Vinci' needs a lot of air, so a little draft doesn't hurt - quite the opposite. Furthermore, 'Leonardo da Vinci' is also suitable for a partially shaded location.

It depends on the right bucket

In addition to the right location, the right tub also decides on the success or failure of the rose culture. Roses are deep-rooted and therefore do not necessarily need a wide pot, but they do need a very high one. The 'Leonardo da Vinci' rose should also be planted in a pot that is at least 50 centimeters high. Also, choose natural, breathable material such as clay to keep roots from overheating in summer.

Roses don't like waterlogging

Also make sure that the planter has a drainage hole at the bottom for excess watering. Roses do not like waterlogging, which is why good drainage is immensely important. You can achieve this not only by adding clay granules to the plant substrate, but also by using the right soil. 'Leonardo da Vinci' thrives very well in special, nutrient-rich and permeable rose soil.

Water and fertilize 'Leonardo da Vinci' properly

Naturally, potted plants require significantly more care, after all, the plant cannot take care of itself. The root ball of the 'Leonardo da Vinci' rose must not dry out, but it must not be overwatered either. Always water when the substrate is already slightly dry - afterwards the soil should be slightly damp but not wet. Regular fertilization is also essential; as heavy feeders, roses depend on an adequate supply of nutrients. It is best to use a special rose fertilizer for this.(12.86€)

tips

Regularly remove all faded flowers from the perpetually blooming 'Leonardo da Vinci' rose during the summer so that the plant is stimulated to produce new flowers again and again.
