In the garden

Rosa 'Korolani' sits in the genus Rosa and carries glossy, dark green leaves on an upright, well-branched shrub. It flowers from June to September, providing a sustained summer display. The combination of upright habit and persistent foliage makes it suitable where a vertical, flowering presence is wanted rather than a sprawling cover. Plant Rosa 'Korolani' in full sun in loamy soil, keeping the soil moisture moderate and the pH between 6.0 and 7.5. A south-facing, sheltered aspect reduces wind scorch and aids flower development. It is rated H6 (very hardy), so it tolerates typical UK winter conditions; containers should be placed where roots are protected from severe exposure. Use it at the rear of mixed borders, as a focused specimen in a bed or in a large container where its upright form can be shown off. Regular watering during dry spells and positioning where it receives strong sun will support flowering, and removing spent blooms encourages further production through the June–September season. Regular deadheading of spent flowers will extend bloom on Rosa 'Korolani'.
