Rose - Camp David

Common Name: Camp David Rose

Description: The Camp David Rose (Rosa 'Camp David') is a distinguished hybrid tea rose, bred by Mathias Tantau, Jr. in Germany in 1984. This cultivar is celebrated for its deep red, high-centered blooms that can reach up to 13 cm in diameter. The nearly black buds unfurl into elegant, fragrant flowers that maintain their rich color even under intense sunlight. The plant exhibits a robust, upright growth habit, typically reaching heights of up to 1.5 meters. Its glossy, dark green foliage provides a striking contrast to the vivid blooms. In Melbourne's climate, the Camp David Rose thrives in well-drained soils with full sun exposure. It is known for its hardiness and disease resistance, blooming in flushes from late spring through autumn. This variety is ideal for use in garden beds, borders, or as a specimen plant, and its long-stemmed flowers make it an excellent choice for cut arrangements.
