Thanks to the individuals (for order preparation and shipping), the bare-root rose received appears to be healthy. Planted near the 'Blue Girl' variety, I am now patiently waiting for it to take root... (or not?)

Description

Rosa Rose de Bretagne is a modern hybrid tea rose that stands out with its disease resistance and robustness. Its repeat-flowering is truly remarkable. Its sumptuous roses have a romantic shape and a bright colour: a delicate light-yellow with a more intense heart. The fragrance they exude is astonishing, with strong notes of lemon. Its generous flowering beautifies the garden from spring to autumn, while its dark green and glossy foliage adds an extra touch of elegance. This versatile variety is perfect for flower beds and borders. Its cut flowers make stunning bouquets.

 

Unveiled in 2020, Rosa Rose de Bretagne® 'Adareflixa' was created by Michel Adam at the request of the Rotary® Club of Ille-et-Vilaine. It is distributed worldwide by NIRP International, a Franco-Italian company that excels in the research, hybridisation, selection, and commercialisation of new rose varieties, whether for use as cut flowers or in gardens. This variety belongs to the hybrid tea or large-flowered rose family. It was awarded the Certificate of Merit 2021 at the famous International New Rose Competition in Nyon, Switzerland.

It has a rapid growth rate, dense vegetation, and a compact habit. It will reach a height of 80cm (32in) to 1m (4ft) and a spread of 0.50 to 0.70m (2ft). This shrub is characterised by strong and thorny branches that support dense foliage divided into large dentate leaves of a shiny dark green. From May-June to October, it offers generous and continuous flowering. The bright yellow buds open into superb flowers measuring 12 to 14cm (5 to 6in) in diameter, composed of 40 to 50 petals, typical of hybrid tea roses. Regularly remove faded flowers to encourage new blooms to form. Each flower is borne at the end of a long and sturdy thorny stem, which is ideal for cut flowers. It has a beautiful light-yellow colour, adorned with a deeper yellow heart. Its enchanting fragrance reveals intense lemony notes.

Rosa Rose de Bretagne is a radiant, warm, robust, and generous rose. To fully exploit its potential, it simply needs fertile soil that is not too dry in summer. Its luxuriant growth, gentle hue, and intoxicating fragrance make it a perfect choice for embellishing a small hedge, a rose bed, or light perennials. It can also be used as a solitary plant in a well-maintained small garden. For a spectacular effect, plant it in groups of three. Combine it with yellow, white, or salmon-orange roses. In a bed of colourful shrubs, you can plant it with weigelas, dwarf abelias, caryopteris, or even lavenders. You can also pair it with blue bellflowers, delphiniums, and Verbena 'Buenos Aires'. The cut flowers of this rose have good longevity and are naturally perfect for creating beautiful bouquets. Thanks to its compact habit, this rose adapts perfectly to container gardening on patios and balconies. Just make sure to water it regularly and provide it with the necessary fertilisers for it to fully thrive.

Planting and care

Plant in a sunny or lightly shaded location. Modern roses are tolerant, but do not appreciate excessive limestone or acidity. They will adapt to any garden as long as the soil is well worked, not too heavy, and sufficiently rich. To plant your rose, work the soil by crumbling it and add fertiliser to the bottom of the planting hole (dried blood or dehydrated horn, for example). Water generously after planting to remove any air pockets. Water regularly for a few weeks to facilitate root growth.

Regularly remove faded flowers to encourage new blooms.

Roses are often stained or unsightly at the end of summer, but this will not hinder their development. These spots are a natural phenomenon and will not harm the rose.

Care

Pruning instructions Avoid pruning too short during the first two years. Pruning is essential for flowering. It is done in three steps: 1. Maintenance pruning: regularly shorten the branches that have flowered during the season. To encourage the reblooming of perpetual roses, remove the faded flowers along with their stem, leaving 2 or 3 leaves. 2. Preparatory pruning in autumn: light pruning that anticipates the proper spring pruning. It is not recommended in regions with cold winters in order to avoid weakening the bush. 3. Spring pruning: in February-March, when the buds have developed into shoots 2 to 3cm (1in) long, trim the young strong branches by a quarter of their length. Pruning always aims to clear the heart of the bush and remove dead wood, diseased branches, and weak shoots. The most vigorous branches, usually 3 to 6 well-positioned ones, will be kept to maintain an attractive habit. Always prune at a slant, ½ cm or 1cm (0.4in) above an outward-facing bud.
