Abracadabra rose


Question
I would like some tips on growing the above rose and the climate it prefers.  Thank you.

Answer
Abracdabra was bred as a florist rose by Kordes in Germany the large rose nursery. But because it was a hardy rose, it was then sold as a garden one. This rose will go different shades depending on the weather.However the flowers will not be as large but darker. It looks best in areas where the summers get very hot as the colours will go darker. It doesn't have a fragrance only just a little in high heat. It is a tall rose and will grow to about 5 feet tall under normal conditions. In part shade the stripes become unstable and the they tend to blend all together and become just one shade of red. It does have a long vase life when picked. Because Abracadabra is a sport of another striped rose which has a lot of yellow in  it, sometimes one of the flowers on the rose bush will be a plain yellow apparently this happens quite often. This is a hardy rose and will do well even in zone 5 which has a snow covered winter. Growing it really doesn't require any extra or different means. It is just the stripes that will change due to the weather.
