Noted for its outstanding fragrance, award-winning Rosa Dee-Lish® is a striking Hybrid Tea rose with large, 4 in. across (10 cm), fully double, cupped, deep pink flowers, closely packed with 50-55 petals. Borne mostly solitary on long stems, the non-fading blossoms emit a very strong fragrance of verbena and citrus. They open from dark buds to a charming, old-fashioned type of bloom with its tints of silver. Blooming in flushes from spring to fall, they stand out against the healthy foliage of semi-glossy, gray-green leaves. Hardy, vigorous, of upright habit, this disease-resistant shrub rose performs well is perfect for beds and borders, not to forget the cutting garden!
- Recipient of many prestigious awards for disease resistance and aesthetics and one of the first hybrid tea roses to win the prestigious ADR contest in Germany.
- Grows up to 6-7 ft. tall (180-210 cm) with a 3 ft. spread (90 cm).
- An excellent choice for beds and borders or containers. Great cut flowers.
- Best grown in full sun, in rich, fertile with adequate moisture, well-drained soils.
- Spring Pruning: Remove old canes and dead or diseased wood and cut back canes that cross. In warmer climates, cut back the remaining canes by about one-third. In colder areas, you'll probably find you'll have to prune a little more than that.
- Bred by Meilland International (France, before 2005).
