Rose Desiree Standard

Rose Desiree Standard Details

The Rose Desiree standard is a Hybrid Tea rose featuring fragrant, soft pink flowers held on long stems. The fragrant flowers begin in spring and continue until autumn provided the spent flowers are removed. The foliage comprises glossy, dark green leaves which provide a lovely complement to the flowers. This standardised rose is grafted at 80 cm and results in a plant that typically grows to 1.3 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. The Rose Desiree standard 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.
