Hybrid Tea Rose 'Neptune'

‘Neptune’ Hybrid Tea Rose (Rosa ‘Neptune’). The Rosa ‘Neptune’, a hybrid tea rose of rare elegance, is distinguished by its large, double lavender to silvery-mauve flowers, with slightly wavy petals that subtly catch the light. Intensely fragrant, they release a rich, lemony scent much appreciated near patios and relaxation areas. The elongated buds open slowly into well-formed, turbinate flowers, borne on long, sturdy stems ideal for cutting. Its bushy, upright, and vigorous habit allows it to reach a beautiful stature in sunny flowerbeds or as a solitary planting for a focal point.

To plant the ‘Neptune’ hybrid tea rose, choose a suitable 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 adapt pruning to the rose group. Winter protection depends on its hardiness and the possible presence of a graft union. Water the root ball before planting and ensure that water can drain after planting. During establishment, check the moisture by hand before watering again.

Allow a width of 1.2 m (4 ft) to organize the plant's space in the garden. The indicated height of 1.4 m (4.6 ft) helps choose its position relative to neighboring plants. Maintain access to the base for weeding, checking moisture, and removing damaged parts. Combine 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.
