Rose Leonardo da Vinci in the bucket

'Leonardo da Vinci' also feels at home in penumbra

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, as the plant quickly gets too hot here. A balcony facing south-west or south-east is ideal as a stand, provided that you can provide shade if necessary, especially around lunchtime. In addition, 'Leonardo da Vinci' needs a lot of air, so a little draft doesn't do any harm - on the contrary. Furthermore, 'Leonardo da Vinci' is also suitable for a partially shaded location.

It all depends on the right bucket

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

Roses don't like waterlogging

Also make sure that the planter has a drainage hole for excess irrigation water on the bottom. Roses don't like waterlogging, which is why good drainage is extremely important. You can achieve this not only by adding Clay granules to the plant substrate, but also through the right soil. 'Leonardo da Vinci' thrives very well in special, nutrient-rich and well-drained Rose earth.

Naturally, potted plants require significantly more care, after all, the plant cannot take care of itself. The root ball of the rose 'Leonardo da Vinci' must not dry out, but neither must it be excessively watered. 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 roses are heavy eaters and depend on an adequate supply of nutrients. It is best to use a special one for this Rose fertilizer.(€ 11.51 at Amazon *)
