Hybrid Tea Rose 'Fragrant Cloud' (Rosa 'Fragrant Cloud')

‘Fragrant Cloud’ Hybrid Tea Rose (Rosa ‘Fragrant Cloud’). The ‘Fragrant Cloud’ rose, an iconic and award-winning hybrid tea rose, is globally renowned for its exceptionally powerful and heady fragrance. Its large, double, intense coral-orange flowers with salmon-red highlights open from elegant buds to form a perfectly turbinate cup with thick, velvety petals. The rich, spicy fragrance is one of the most distinctive among modern roses, ideal near patios or frequented pathways. Its bushy, upright, and vigorous habit allows it to reach a beautiful stature in sunny flowerbeds or as a focal point in a solitary planting.

To plant the ‘Fragrant Cloud’ hybrid tea rose, choose an appropriate exposure: full sun. The recommended soil is as follows: rich, deep, well-drained. Water at the base and allow air to circulate between the branches. Remove dead parts with a clean tool, then prune according to the rose group. Winter protection depends on its hardiness and the potential presence of a graft union. Water the root ball before planting and ensure water can drain after planting. During establishment, check moisture by hand before watering again.

Allow a width of 1.2 m (4 ft) to plan this plant's space in the garden. The indicated height of 1.5 m (5 ft) helps choose its position relative to neighboring plants. Maintain access to the base for weeding, checking moisture, and removing damaged parts. Pair this variety with plants that have compatible light and water needs. If you are considering a container, first check that its volume and drainage are suitable for root development. Potted roots are more exposed to cold than those planted in the ground.
