Deep pink Shrub.
Registration name: KORsilan
Exhibition name: Palmengarten Frankfurt ™

Bred by W. Kordes & Sons (Germany, 1988).

Shrub.  

Deep pink.  None to mild fragrance.  15 to 30 petals.  Average diameter 1.5".  Small, double (17-25 petals), cluster-flowered, in small clusters, cupped bloom form.  Blooms in flushes throughout the season.  

Medium, spreading.  Medium, glossy, medium green foliage.  

Height: 3' to 5' (90 to 150cm).  Width: 4' to 4½' (120 to 135cm).

USDA zone 5b through 9b.  Can be used for garden, ground cover or landscape.  Disease susceptibility: very blackspot resistant..  Remove spent blooms to encourage re-bloom.  Spring Pruning: Remove old canes and dead or diseased wood and cut back canes that cross. In warmer climates, cut back the remaining canes by about one-third. In colder areas, you'll probably find you'll have to prune a little more than that.
