Rose - Blackberry Nip

Common name:
Rose 'Blackberry Nip'

Description:
Rose 'Blackberry Nip' is a striking hybrid tea rose renowned for its rich, velvety purple blooms and bold fragrance. Each flower is a deep plum-purple with blackcurrant undertones, and its colour intensity often increases in cooler weather, making it especially eye-catching through the Melbourne spring and autumn seasons. This variety produces classic, high-centred blooms either singly or in small clusters on long, sturdy stems—ideal for cutting. It thrives in well-drained soils with full sun exposure and benefits from regular feeding to promote strong flowering. With good disease resistance and a tidy, upright growth habit, 'Blackberry Nip' is a favourite among gardeners for both its ornamental appeal and garden performance. This variety flowers in flushes from late spring through to autumn, making it a rewarding and long-lasting addition to any garden or pot.
