Classic Garden Appeal
Admired for their exquisite form and fragrance, Hybrid Tea Roses offer long-lasting blooms throughout summer. Whether planted in mixed borders or as a feature plant, they create a captivating display that adds sophistication to any outdoor space.
Strong Growth and Structure
These hardy roses grow to approximately 1m (3') in height with a 60cm (24") spread. Each stem produces a single, perfectly shaped bloom, embodying the charm and tradition of classic British gardens.
Culinary Uses
Did you know? Certain parts of these flowers are edible. Rosehips and petals can be used in syrups, while petals lend delicate flavour to fruit dishes and cool drinks — a delightful way to enjoy your roses beyond the garden.
Companion Planting
- Group all three colours together for a summer-long procession of classic blooms.
- Mix with reliable companions such as lavender, nepeta, thyme, or ornamental alliums to encourage beneficial insects and deter pests.
- Consider lining paths or beds with aromatic herbs like chives or mint to help ward off aphids and blackfly naturally.
Planting Guidance
Plant bare root roses as soon as possible after delivery. Select an open, sunny spot that has not recently hosted roses to prevent disease build-up. Enrich the soil with well-rotted manure or garden compost and mix in a handful of granular fertiliser before planting.
Place each plant in a hole wide and deep enough to spread the roots evenly. Firm down the soil to eliminate air pockets and water thoroughly to settle. Apply mulch to protect the roots during cold weather. If you cannot plant immediately, ‘heel in’ the roses temporarily in loose soil or compost to safeguard the roots.
Care & Maintenance
- Planting: Best planted as soon as received. Soak roots in water for several hours before planting. Choose a spot in full sun, with rich, fertile, and well-drained soil. Prepare the site by digging deeply and incorporating organic matter.
- Spacing: Space bushes approximately 60cm apart to allow for mature growth and air circulation.
- Watering & Feeding: Water regularly in dry spells and apply balanced rose feed during the growing season for maximum flowering.
- Pruning: Prune in late winter or early spring before new leaves emerge to maintain shape and encourage vigorous new growth.
- Seasonal Tasks: Mulch annually to retain moisture, suppress weeds, and protect roots.
