Rosa Dainty Bess

<p>A true symbol of love and romance, with an extremely delicate bloom, <strong>the rose is the queen of flowers.</strong> It’s one of the most cultivated plants in gardens. <strong>We cherish it for its single or double flowers, often highly fragrant</strong>, and its superb divided foliage, deciduous or semi-evergreen. The flowers range from white to red, but can also be yellow, orange, or even mauve… There’s even an almost black rose with the ‘Black Baccara’ variety! Whatever their colour, roses always possess exceptional elegance, making them a key element in romantic gardens and English-style gardens. </p> <p><strong>With several thousand varieties, roses offer wonderful diversity!</strong> The most classic are bush and shrub roses, which fit easily into flower beds or borders, while other varieties grow as ground cover, and climbing roses scale pergolas or house facades. As for standard roses, they bring a very elegant touch to the garden and are perfect as standalone features, for example on a lawn. </p> <p><strong>Planting roses</strong> is possible year-round, but <strong>is preferably done in autumn in fresh, well-draining soil</strong>, rich in organic matter. The smallest varieties adapt well to container growing! Roses require some maintenance to ensure generous flowering. <strong>It’s advisable to fertilise them, water occasionally during dry spells, and prune them.</strong> They are susceptible to rust, powdery mildew, and black spot disease, and may require some treatments.</p>
