Allow room for an upright shrub and adjust care to your local garden conditions. This rose received the Fragrance Award at the 2017 National Rose Trial Garden of Australia.

Care tips

For general Hybrid Tea rose care, water deeply at the root zone during dry periods rather than applying frequent light watering. Mulch around the plant to help conserve soil moisture, keeping mulch clear of stems. Feed regularly with a suitable rose fertiliser during active growth, following the product label. In winter, prune Hybrid Tea roses to remove dead or crowded growth and encourage a tidy framework for the next season. These are general care guidelines rather than cultivar-specific performance claims.
