The Rosa 'Grande Dame', a majestic and intensely fragrant hybrid tea rose, is distinguished by its very large, deep pink double flowers with slightly raspberry hues, whose thick, velvety petals form an opulent and elegantly turbinate cup. Its powerful, rich and enveloping fragrance makes it an ideal variety to plant near terraces and living areas to fully enjoy its scent. Its bushy, upright and vigorous habit allows it to reach a beautiful stature in sunny flowerbeds or as a focal point in a romantic bed. Floriferous and reblooming, it offers several generous waves of blooms throughout the summer, producing long, strong stems perfect for cutting. Its dark green, dense and healthy foliage highlights the intensity of the color while showing excellent disease tolerance in rich, deep and well-drained soil. The Rosa 'Grande Dame' brings nobility, fragrance and elegance to the garden while attracting pollinating insects.
