Rose - Madame Delbard

Common Name:
Rose 'Madame Delbard'

Description:
Rose 'Madame Delbard' is an opulent and highly romantic hybrid tea rose introduced by Delbard of France. Known for its large, full, and elegantly ruffled blooms, this variety offers an old-world charm with modern performance. The flowers are a rich blend of warm pink and cream, with some peach and apricot undertones depending on the climate and time of season. The petals are densely packed, forming classic rosette shapes that carry a powerful and heady fragrance — a signature of many Delbard-bred roses. In Melbourne’s conditions, this rose performs well with regular feeding and full sun, producing multiple flushes of flowers from spring through to late autumn. It’s ideal for feature planting, rose gardens, or as a fragrant cut flower for indoor use. The plant is vigorous, upright, and well-clothed in deep green foliage with a moderate resistance to common rose diseases.
