Rosaceae

Rosa 'Barbra Streisand', a spectacular and intensely fragrant hybrid tea rose, stands out with its large, double lavender to orchid-violet flowers, whose cool and saturated hue is rare among modern roses. The thick, velvety petals form a perfectly turbinated flower, carried on long, sturdy stems ideal for cutting. Its powerful, citrusy fragrance, mixed with sweet notes, makes it one of the most fragrant roses in its category, particularly appreciated near terraces and walkways. Its bushy, upright, and vigorous habit forms a dense and well-structured shrub, perfect for sunny flowerbeds or as a specimen plant. Prolific and reblooming, it offers several waves of sustained flowering throughout the summer. Its dark green, very glossy, and resistant foliage shows excellent disease tolerance in rich, deep, and well-drained soil. Rosa 'Barbra Streisand' brings originality, intensity, and remarkable fragrance to the garden while attracting pollinating insects.
