Rosa Black Baccara (Hybrid Tea Rose)

Rosa Black Baccara is a captivating Hybrid Tea rose with medium-large, 3 in. across (7 cm), very full (45 petals), high-centered, velvety dark red flowers. The dramatic blossoms are borne on long, strong stems and last up to 2 weeks in a vase, making this rose a popular choice for cutting gardens. Blooming in flushes from spring to fall, the velvety texture and unique color of the flowers contrast nicely with the foliage of semi-glossy, dark green leaves. A tall, bushy, handsomely shaped shrub that will take your breath away.

• Grows up to 3-6 ft. tall (90-180 cm) and 2-3 ft. wide (60-90 cm).
• An excellent choice for beds, borders, flowering hedges, or containers. Stunning when mass-planted. Excellent 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.
• Propagate by hardwood cuttings in autumn or by chip budding in summer.
• Bred by Jacques Mouchotte (France, before 2000).
