Rose - Kardinal

Common Name:
Kardinal Rose

Description:
The Kardinal Rose (Rosa ‘Kardinal’) is a striking hybrid tea rose, prized for its vibrant, velvety red blooms and exceptional longevity as a cut flower. This classic variety produces high-centred, fully double flowers with a light fragrance, blooming from spring through autumn. Known for its strong, upright growth and excellent disease resistance, Kardinal thrives in Melbourne’s climate, preferring full sun and well-drained soil. Regular feeding, watering, and deadheading will promote continuous flowering, while seasonal pruning helps maintain its elegant shape. Its intense colour, long-lasting blooms, and strong stems make it a top choice for floral arrangements and garden displays.
