Rosa Heart 'n' Soul 'ORApaymel'

Common Name(s):

Description

Bred by Pierre Orard in France, the Heart 'n' Soul (the Trade Designation for 'ORApaymel') was introduced in the United States in 2001 by Weeks Wholesale Rose Grower, Inc.  

At first glance, the flowers appear to be red, however, they are actually white with red edges.  They may have a light tea fragrance.  

Spent blooms should be removed from the plant to encourage re-blooming.  Flushes of blooms will appear throughout the season.  

This plant can be pruned in the spring to remove damaged, dead or diseased wood.  Remove any canes that cross.  Cut back the canes by 1/3 in warm locations and a bit more in cooler climates.  

Insects, Diseases, and Other Plant Problems:  New spring growth should be protected from any hard freeze which can cause death of the plant, canker and die-back.For full information on common pests and diseases, please see the Rosa page.
