Hybrid Tea Rose 'Tropicana'

‘Tropicana’ Hybrid Tea Rose (Rosa ‘Tropicana’). The ‘Tropicana’ Hybrid Tea Rose is a vigorous rose with an elegant, upright habit, renowned for the exceptional intensity of its bloom and its intoxicating fragrance. This variety produces large, double, flamboyant mandarin orange flowers, sometimes tinged with coral and salmon red depending on the light, borne on long stems ideal for cutting. Flowering from early summer until the first frosts, it offers a succession of well-formed buds that slowly open into spectacular corollas. Its dark green foliage enhances the brilliance of the flowers and shows good disease resistance for a hybrid tea.

To plant the ‘Tropicana’ Hybrid Tea Rose, choose a suitable exposure: full sun. The recommended soil is: rich, 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's 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 the moisture by hand before watering again.

Allow a width of 90 cm (35 in) to arrange this plant's space in the garden. The indicated height of 1.2 m (4 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.
