Rose Chippendale -Bare root

Chippendale is a Rosen-Tantau rose with full, cupped flowers that shift through dark orange, apricot, peach-yellow and orange-pink tones as they open. Its sweet, fruity fragrance is generally rated from medium to strong. The plant develops a compact yet vigorous, upright and bushy shape, with dark glossy foliage behind the changing flower colour. It can add warm tones to a garden bed or border and also provides fragrant stems for cutting.

Growing in Australia

Australian sources commonly place Chippendale at approximately 1.0-1.2 m high and around 1.0 m wide. This makes it useful where a substantial but relatively contained rose is needed in a bed, border or low hedge. A professional Australian rose-society source records early flowering followed by repeat flushes from spring to autumn. Give the plant at least half a day of sun and prepare fertile, improved soil with reliable drainage. Mature size, colour development and flowering timing may vary with local climate, seasonal conditions and care.

Care tips

Water deeply at the root zone when the soil begins to dry, encouraging moisture to reach below the surface. Add mulch over the surrounding soil to reduce moisture loss, keeping it away from the stems. Apply a suitable rose fertiliser during active growth according to its directions. In the dormant season, remove dead, damaged and crowded growth, then shape the upright framework as required. These are general Hybrid Tea rose-care guidelines rather than cultivar-specific performance guarantees.
