It was patented (PP9,994) in 1997 and is being marketed under the name of COLETTE. Romanticas are generally noted for their vigorous growth, strong fragrance, good disease resistance, repeat bloom, good winter hardiness and old rose feel. COLETTE typically grows 5-7' tall and features 2-5 ruffled, double pink blooms (3-3.5\ diameter) per stem. Blooms from May to frost. Glossy dark green foliage.

Grow in medium moisture, slightly acidic, well-drained garden loams in full sun. Best flowering and disease resistance generally occur in full sun. Water deeply and regularly (mornings are best). Avoid overhead watering. Good air circulation promotes vigorous and healthy growth and helps control foliar diseases. Summer mulch helps retain moisture, keeps roots cool and discourages weeds. Remove spent flowers to encourage rebloom. Crowns appreciate winter protection in cold winter areas such as St. Louis. Remove and destroy diseased leaves from plants, as practicable, and clean up and destroy dead leaves from the ground around the plants both during the growing season and as part of a thorough cleanup during winter (dormant season). Prune as needed in late winter to early spring.
