Rose - Perfume Delight

Common name:
Rose 'Perfume Delight'

Description:
Rose 'Perfume Delight' is a distinguished hybrid tea rose, celebrated for its vibrant deep pink blooms and intense damask fragrance. Each large, fully double flower measures approximately 12cm in diameter, showcasing a high-centered, cupped form. The blossoms are borne singly on long, sturdy stems, making them ideal for cutting and floral arrangements. This variety exhibits a vigorous, upright growth habit, reaching heights of 90 to 120cm and spreading about 60 to 90cm. The foliage is dark green and glossy, providing a striking contrast to the vivid blooms. 'Perfume Delight' thrives in Melbourne's climate, preferring full sun exposure and well-drained soil. It blooms prolifically from late spring through autumn, offering a continuous display of colour and scent. Regular deadheading encourages repeat flowering, and annual winter pruning helps maintain plant health and structure.
