Roksana

Roksana Shadblow – a late-ripening variety derived from free-pollination Kamchatka shadblow. Bushes of medium height, around 1.4 m, with an open, spreading crown and a root diameter up to 1.7 m. Branches grow upwards, are knobby and thick, ensuring good plant structure.

Roksana berries are approximately 3 cm long and weigh about 1.15 grams, and practically do not fall off the bush. They are distinguished by a pleasant sweet-and-sour taste without bitterness, rich aroma, and good market appearance. Yield is of medium level – from 1 kg to 1.5 kg per bush per season.

The variety is resistant to frost and diseases, and is suitable for a living hedge: with proper shaping pruning, bushes maintain a neat appearance. For obtaining a crop, timely fertilizing with organic fertilizers is recommended. Roksana grows well in various soil types, but does not like overly wet places and windy areas. When planting, maintain a distance of 1.5 m between bushes and dig a hole about 40 cm deep, burying the root collar 2–5 cm before laying.
