'Grande Dame' Hybrid Tea Rose

‘Grande Dame’ Hybrid Tea Rose (Rosa ‘Grande Dame’). The Rosa ‘Grande Dame’ is a majestic and intensely fragrant hybrid tea rose, distinguished by its very large, double, deep pink flowers with slight raspberry hues. Its thick, velvety petals form an opulent and elegantly cupped bloom. Its powerful, rich, and enveloping fragrance makes it an ideal variety to plant near patios and living areas to fully enjoy its scent. Its bushy, upright, and vigorous habit allows it to reach a beautiful stature in sunny beds or as a standalone plant as a focal point in a romantic border.

To plant the ‘Grande Dame’ hybrid tea rose, choose a suitable exposure: full sun. The recommended soil is rich, deep, and 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's group. Winter protection depends on its hardiness and the presence of a graft union. Water the root ball before planting and ensure water can drain after planting. During establishment, check the soil moisture by hand before watering again.

Allow a width of 1.2 m (4 ft) to arrange 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. Associate this variety with plants whose light and water needs are compatible. If you are considering a container, first check that its volume and drainage are suitable for root development. Roots in pots are more exposed to cold than those planted in the ground.
