Laguna

Full Description:

Laguna changes the feeling of a garden by bringing flowers above eye level. As its bright pink clusters spread across a wall, arch or pergola, the structure becomes softer, more intimate and filled with fragrance.

Created by W. Kordes & Sons in 2004, Laguna went on to receive five Gold and Silver Medals at international rose competitions. Its reputation comes from the qualities gardeners value most: generous flowering, strong perfume and reliable performance.

The double flowers contain approximately 45 to 55 petals and appear in clusters of six to eight. Their luminous bright pink colour creates a full romantic display, while the strong fragrance makes Laguna especially rewarding near entrances, terraces, pathways and seating areas.

Flowering begins in May and continues in repeated flushes until late autumn. The vigorous plant reaches approximately 2.5 metres in height and around 100 cm in width, making it suitable for walls, fences, trellises, arches and smaller pergolas.

Train the main stems diagonally or horizontally whenever possible to encourage flowering shoots along their length. The blooms can also be cut for bouquets and floral arrangements, where they remain attractive for approximately five days.

Laguna does more than cover a support. It creates a fragrant entrance, a flower-filled place to pause or a once-plain wall that becomes one of the garden’s most memorable features.

Frequently asked questions:

Does Laguna flower repeatedly?
Yes. Laguna produces its first major display from May and continues with repeated flowering flushes until late autumn.

How strongly scented is Laguna?
Its fragrance is strong and noticeable. Planting it near a terrace, entrance, pathway or seating area will make the perfume easier to enjoy.

How tall does Laguna grow?
It reaches approximately 2.5 metres in height and around 100 cm in width. Its final size will depend on climate, soil, pruning and training.

Does Laguna need a climbing support?
Yes. It should be tied to a sturdy trellis, arch, fence, pergola or a system of wires fixed securely to a wall.

How should I train it for more flowers?
Guide the principal stems diagonally or horizontally whenever possible. This encourages more flowering side shoots to develop along the canes.

Is Laguna suitable for an arch?
Yes. One plant can cover a narrower side, while planting one rose on each side creates a fuller and more balanced display.

Can I grow Laguna against a house wall?
Yes. Plant it slightly away from the wall, where the soil is less dry, and provide strong wires or a trellis before the plant becomes established.

Is Laguna suitable for a small garden?
Yes, provided there is a suitable vertical support. Regular training and pruning will help keep its growth within the available space.

Can Laguna be used as a cut flower?
Yes. Its bright pink clusters and strong fragrance make attractive bouquets. The cut flowers generally remain fresh for approximately five days.
