Description

The garden rose is the classic cut flower of the garden, originating in the late 19th century from crosses between fragrant tea roses (whose ancestors come from China) and European remontant or garden roses. It is known as the "queen of roses." It is recognized by its slender, elegantly shaped buds on long, usually single stems that open into highly full blooms. In the garden it looks best planted in groups of three to five plants, combined with ornamental grasses or lavender. Classic varieties such as the fragrance‑rich "Mister Lincoln" or the cream‑yellow "Gloria Dei" are especially popular. As a cut flower for vases and beds, they are hard to beat.

Care instructions

Plant the garden rose in a sunny, airy spot with deep, humus‑rich soil; it does not tolerate waterlogging. In spring prune the shoots hard and leave only a few buds per shoot; during the season remove spent blooms regularly up to the next fully developed leaf so that the plant continues to flower. To protect the graft union, in late autumn pile up about 15 cm of soil or compost and, for young plants, place pine needles on top. Do not plant garden roses where roses have previously grown, as soil fatigue can slow growth.
