Registration name: Zlecatherine
Exhibition name: Catherine Guelda ™

Bred by David Charles Zlesak (United States, 2006).

Shrub.  

Mauve or purple blend.  None to mild fragrance.  Average diameter 2.5".  Medium, full (26-40 petals), cluster-flowered, in small clusters bloom form.  Blooms in flushes throughout the season.  

Medium, upright.  Medium, matte, medium green foliage.  

USDA zone 4a through 9b.  Can be used for cut flower, garden or shrub.  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.
