Common Name:
Rose 'Homage à Barbara'
Description:
Rose 'Homage à Barbara' is a stunning French-bred hybrid tea rose that offers dramatic flair in any garden setting. Bred by Meilland International, this exceptional variety produces richly coloured, velvety crimson flowers with a frilled petal edge that gives it a distinct, almost ruffled appearance. Each bloom unfurls with deep, dark tones that appear almost black in bud, maturing to a vivid red as they open fully. The flowers are large, double, and often borne singly on strong stems, making them ideal for cutting and floral arrangements. It has a moderate, classic rose fragrance and an excellent repeat-flowering habit. 'Homage à Barbara' thrives in well-drained soil with ample sunlight and benefits from regular deadheading to prolong blooming. Disease resistance is strong, particularly against black spot and mildew, making it a low-maintenance choice for Melbourne gardens. Flowering starts in late spring and continues into autumn, ensuring months of bold colour and beauty.
