Rose Double Delight Standard

Rose Double Delight Standard Details

The Double Delight standard rose is a Hybrid Tea variety that features cream-coloured flowers edged with dark red. The fragrant flowers begin in spring and continue until autumn provided the spent flowers are removed. The foliage comprises small-sized, dark green leaves which develop yellow tones in autumn before falling and provide a lovely backdrop to the flowers. This standard rose is grafted at 80 cm and results in a plant that typically grows to 1.3 m tall and 50 cm wide, though it is generally pruned each winter with about 75% of the stem removed. It grows best when planted in full sun on a well-drained, sheltered site, and is tolerant of frost and cool climates. It also has very good disease resistance. The Double Delight standard rose is commonly included in a mixed planting, added to a cottage or courtyard gardens, planted to border an entrance, maintained in a container, or included anywhere the beauty and fragrance can be appreciated.
