Common name

Type
Flowering shrub
Family
Rosaceae

The Rosa ‘City Of Windsor’, a vigorous and very free-flowering hybrid tea rose, is distinguished by its large, double, luminous scarlet red flowers with thick, well-formed petals, which retain their intensity even in summer heat. The elegant buds open gradually into structured flowers borne on long, sturdy stems ideal for cutting. Its light to moderate fragrance accompanies abundant flowering without dominating the space. Its bushy, upright, and dense habit gives it a balanced silhouette, perfect for sunny beds or as a focal point in a warm-toned massif. Free-flowering and repeat-blooming, it offers several sustained waves of flowering throughout the summer. Its dark green, thick, and shiny foliage shows good disease resistance in rich, deep, and well-drained soil. The Rosa ‘City Of Windsor’ brings intensity, structure, and floral constancy to the garden while attracting pollinating insects.
