Rose Aotearoa Standard

Rose Aotearoa Standard Details

Rose Aotearoa is a Hybrid Tea rose that features very fragrant, soft pink flowers held on long stems. The flowers begin in spring and continue until autumn, provided the spent flowers are removed. The foliage comprises small-sized, dark green leaves which develop yellow tones in autumn before falling and provide a lovely backdrop to the flowers. This standardised rose is grafted at 80 cm and results in a plant that typically grows to 1.2 m tall and 50 cm wide. It is generally pruned each winter with about 75% of the aerial stems removed. It grows best when planted in full sun on a well-drained, sheltered site, and is tolerant of frost and cool climates. It also has very good disease resistance. Rose Aotearoa is commonly included in a mixed planting, included in cottage, courtyard, or formal gardens, planted to border an entrance, or included anywhere the beauty and fragrance can be appreciated.
