Rosa 'Trocadéro'

The 'Trocadéro' Rose (Tan 10721) is a modern hybrid from the 'Les Années Folles' series, bringing together the chic of cherry red and a sweet fragrance on its large romantic roses. In addition to its ornamental qualities, it is a robust bush that is resistant to rose diseases. Its opulent, old-fashioned flowers, full of fragrant petals, make for magnificent bouquets. You can place this rose at the turn of a path or near the terrace to enjoy it with every passing.

The 'Trocadéro' Rose is a recent creation by the German rose breeder Tantau. This hybrid rose is classified as a Floribunda, with flowers grouped in corymbs or small bouquets.

The plant forms an upright, ramified bush with vigorous and rapid growth. It will reach approximately 85cm (34in) in height and 70cm (28in) in width. It blooms from May-June until late in the season. The young shoots of this rose are purple and unfold into compound leaves with large, toothed leaflets of a shiny dark green, being less susceptible to diseases. The flowers measure 10 to 12cm (4 to 5in) in diameter and are composed of 140 petals. They have a globular shape and open in the manner of old roses, with tightly packed quarters. The colour of the roses is a deep cherry red, very bright. They have a pronounced fragrance. This deciduous, hardy shrub loses its leaves in autumn. It will thrive when planted in a rich, deep soil that remains cool in summer.

This modern 'Trocadero' rose is a variety of great class, as beautiful as it is rewarding. Place it, for example, at the front of a shrub bed, in groups of 3 to 5, in a low hedge, or as a standalone in a well-maintained small garden. It can also be grown in a large pot, with regular watering and fertilizing. Consider pairing it with small white, blue, or pink flowers that will enhance it without overshadowing it. Perennial geraniums, catmints, Campanulas (lactiflora, rapunculoides), perennial salvias, and foxgloves are good companions for roses. Its long-lasting flowers are perfect for creating bold, fragrant bouquets that will scent the house.
