Rosa Tchic-Tchac - Climbing Rose

The climbing rose TCHIC-TCHAC® 'ORAducam' is a repeat-flowering climber with moderate growth, capable of covering an arch, trellis or fence. Its large, turbinate roses are dark red with vermilion highlights and release an intense fragrance. They open in waves throughout the summer on dense, very healthy, dark green foliage. This easy-to-grow variety has a place in a romantic or more contemporary setting.

Bred in 2023 by Pierre Orard, this rose was introduced in France by Roseraies Orard in 2025. TCHIC-TCHAC® is its commercial name and 'ORAducam' its official variety name. It belongs to the group of large-flowered climbing roses; these are modern roses with long, rambling stems that are trained onto a support and flower again during the season. Its vigorous, well-branched growth reaches 2.50 to 3 m in height. Its spread depends on how it is trained; its branches can be guided in a fan shape over a support 1.50 to 2 m wide. The elongated flower buds open into 10 cm-diameter, very double, turbinate roses composed of around 60 petals. The high, tightly packed centre is arranged in a spiral, while the outer petals open out more widely. Their colour is deep red, close to crimson, with vermilion tones in places. Borne singly or in small groups of two or three, the flowers release an intense fragrance, clearly perceptible nearby. This rose belongs to the Parfums de Lyon® collection, devoted to fragrant varieties and named in reference to Lyon's rich rose-growing history. Abundant and repeat-flowering, the blooms are produced in waves from June to September, and sometimes into October depending on the climate. The leaves are deciduous and absent in winter. They are composed of oval, toothed leaflets that form dense, dark green foliage at maturity. The young shoots and young leaves, initially purple and coppery, gradually turn green as they develop. The foliage has very good resistance to common rose diseases. 

On an arch or sturdy trellis, Tchic-Tchac® can be paired with the clematis 'Huldine' with pearly white flowers. In front of these two climbers, plant easy-going, generous perennials such as Geranium 'Brookside', Phlox paniculata 'Fujiyama' and Aster 'Little Carlow'. Their white, mauve and purplish-blue flowers temper the intense red of this rose in a romantic garden or against a light-coloured façade. Train the main branches almost horizontally to produce flowers along a greater part of their length.
