Pollination Info

Cinco de Mayo Rose Pollination Info

The Cinco de Mayo Rose, also known as Rosa 'WEKcobeju', is a hybrid tea rose that is known for its unique coloration, which features shades of lavender, pink, and copper. In order for this rose to produce fruit (hips), it must be pollinated.

The Cinco de Mayo Rose is pollinated by bees, butterflies, and other flying insects. These insects are attracted to the rose's bright colors and sweet scent, and they collect nectar from the rose's flowers while transferring pollen from the stamen to the pistil.

It is important to note that the Cinco de Mayo Rose is not self-fertile, meaning that it requires pollen from a different rose plant in order to produce hips. Therefore, if you want to encourage fruit production from your Cinco de Mayo Rose, it is a good idea to plant it near other rose varieties that bloom at the same time and have compatible pollen.

In general, hybrid tea roses like the Cinco de Mayo Rose produce larger flowers and have a longer bloom time if they are regularly deadheaded (i.e., the spent flowers are removed before they can form hips). However, if you are interested in harvesting hips from your Cinco de Mayo Rose, you will want to leave some spent flowers on the plant so that they can develop into fruit.
