Rose - Papi Delbard

Common name: Papi Delbard Rose

Description: The Papi Delbard Rose is a vigorous climbing variety introduced by Georges Delbard in 1995, named in honor of the patriarch of the Delbard family. This rose features fully double blooms in a harmonious blend of apricot, pink, and orange hues, exuding a powerful, fruity fragrance with notes of citronella, rose, grapefruit, apricot, peach, and lychee. The plant exhibits an upright climbing habit, reaching heights of approximately 2.7 to 3 metres, with mid-green foliage providing a lush backdrop to the vibrant blooms. In Melbourne's climate, the Papi Delbard Rose thrives in well-drained soils with full sun exposure. It blooms over a long period from early summer to mid-autumn, making it ideal for training over arches, pergolas, or trellises.
