In the garden

Rosa Impala ('Korimala'PBR) is a hybrid tea rose with a distinctly upright, well-branched habit and dark green, glossy leaves; its flowering season runs from June to September. The cultivar suits formal or informal rose planting where a repeat-flowering hybrid tea is required. Choose a site in full sun with a south-facing, sheltered aspect to reduce winter exposure and give the longest flowering period. Plant in loamy soil that is slightly acidic to neutral (pH 6.0–7.5) and retains moderate moisture rather than becoming waterlogged or bone dry. The hardiness rating H6 places it in the very hardy category for the UK, so it will tolerate most mainland conditions when sited out of strong winds. Rosa Impala ('Korimala'PBR) works well in mixed beds and borders or in suitably sized containers where the soil can be kept evenly moist. Its glossy foliage provides a clean backdrop to the summer and late-summer blooms, and a sheltered, sunny position will make the most of its June–September flowering period.
