Rose Henri Matisse Standard

Rose Henri Matisse Standard Details

The Henri Matisse standard rose is a Hybrid Tea variety that features highly fragrant, red and pink flowers held on long stems. The large and showy flowers emerge in spring and continue until autumn provided the spent flowers are removed. The foliage comprises small-sized, dark green leaves which provide a lovely backdrop to the flowers. This standardised rose is grafted at 80 cm which 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 Henri Matisse standard rose 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.
