Description

The 'Borneo Odore' Rose is a beautiful novelty that will be difficult to resist. This variety, rewarded for its superb fragrance that diffuses far and wide, is also distinguished by the charm of its large double flowers that bloom like peonies. The style of the flower is quite innovative, with an informal cup shape formed by numerous fine and tight petals that create a subtle gradient of light and fresh pink. This variety blooms for 4 to 5 months and is adorned with elegant foliage that is not very susceptible to diseases. One almost regrets that this compact bush, well suited for terrace decoration, is not struck by gigantism, so wonderful are its peony-like roses.

 

'Borneo Odore' or 'Intercomgarf' is a modern bush rose with large flowers presented by Hortival diffusion at the Salon du Végétal in 2018, where it received a Bronze 'Innovert' award. This rose has received high honours for its fragrance, including excellence awards in Lyon and Bagatelle. It is a compact, well-branched bush that reaches about 80 cm (32in) in height and 50 cm (20in) in width at maturity, with rapid growth. Its young shoots are beautifully tinged with coppery red. It produces numerous branches that bear very elegant foliage, semi-matte, in a very dark green colour, sometimes edged with purple, and very healthy. Throughout the summer, if faded flowers are removed, its large atypical flowers, initially beautifully turbinate, open majestically like Chinese peonies. They are carried at the ends of long one-year-old shoots or emerging on two-year-old stems. Their harmonious, complex, and powerful fragrance evokes jasmine at first, enriched with a powerful green hyacinth note and supported by a sweet and indulgent tobacco base.

 

This modern 'Borneo Odore' rose is unlike any other. With its fragrance, the opulence of its flowers, and its beautiful floribundity, it will find its place not far from the house in a rose or perennial flowerbed, isolated in a well-kept garden, or even in a large pot on the terrace or balcony. It adapts to all soils that are not too dry and all climates, tolerating both rain and heat, which allows it to be welcomed without reservation from the north to the south of our country, even at medium altitudes. It pairs perfectly with white roses (Jeanne Moreau, Jardins de Bagatelle), mauve roses (Claude Brasseur, Mamy Blue), or purple roses (Papa Meilland, Edith Piaf) and pretty, easy-to-grow perennials such as perennial geraniums (Geranium Blue Cloud, Anne Folkard, Nimbus, Orion), bellflowers (lactiflora, rapunculoides), catmints, snapdragons, foxgloves...

Planting and care

Choose a sunny or lightly shaded spot with well-worked soil that is not too heavy and has enough nutrients. Avoid planting in poor and excessively dry soils. Prepare the soil by crumbling it and adding an amendment, such as blood, fish and bone, at the bottom of the planting hole. After planting, water abundantly to remove air pockets and continue to water regularly for a few weeks to help the roots establish.

Pruning modern repeat flowering roses is important for flowering and should be done in three stages:

1. Regular maintenance pruning: During the season, regularly shorten the flowering branches and remove faded flowers along with their stem, leaving 2 or 3 leaves to encourage repeat flowering.

2. Preparatory autumn pruning: Lightly prune in preparation for the 'main' spring pruning. Note: This is not recommended in regions with cold winters as this could weaken the bush.

3. Spring pruning: In February-March, when the buds have become shoots 2 to 3 cm (1in) long, prune the young, strong branches to one-quarter of their length.

When pruning, always aim to remove dead wood, diseased branches, and weak shoots while opening up the centre of the bush. Retain the most vigorous branches, generally 3 to 6 well-positioned, to maintain an attractive habit. Always prune at a slant ½ cm or 1 cm (0in) above an outward-facing bud.

Roses may develop unsightly spots at the end of summer, but this is a natural occurrence and doesn't harm the rose's growth.
