About
Rosa Calling You ('Kormarkron'PBR) is a cultivated rose in the genus Rosa and family Rosaceae, notable for a prolonged flowering season from June to September. It produces successive bloom flushes across the summer months. Care follows standard rose practice: a sunny, well-drained site, annual feeding and a late-winter prune to renew flowering wood. Plants establish best with regular watering during their first season.
About the genus

In the garden
Rosa Calling You ('Kormarkron'PBR) is a modern garden rose in the genus Rosa within the Rosaceae family and is selected for its extended bloom period from June to September. As a cultivated variety, it is managed in borders and rose plots where repeat flowering is valued. Plant in a sunny, sheltered spot with free-draining, fertile soil; improve heavy soils with organic matter before planting. Keep mulch around the root area to conserve moisture and suppress weeds, and water into the root zone rather than on the foliage to reduce disease risk. Apply a balanced rose fertiliser in spring and consider a light feed after the first flush of flowers to support later blooms. Prune in late winter to remove dead or crossing stems and to encourage healthy new growth for the coming season. In a UK garden it suits traditional rose beds and mixed shrub borders where sustained summer colour is required, and it can also be used for cutting. Its long flowering window — June to September — makes it particularly useful where summer-long blooms are needed for seasonal displays and arranging into vases.
