More information

The double flowers of this rose adopt the perfect shape of tea roses. They emit a very pleasant fragrance, with delicately lemony notes, from May until the first frosts. Their colour is flamboyant, a coral red that attracts all eyes in the garden. It is a bush with a rather upright habit, adorned with abundant dark green glossy foliage, which resists major diseases very well and enhances the flowers.

Description

The Rose 'Agatha' plays the seduction card with its superb flowers of a vibrant coral red color. It forms a medium-sized bush that blooms in successive waves from May to the first frost. Its healthy foliage, with its shiny dark green colour, serves as a backdrop for its stunning flowering. Its roses, which are well-scented, exude lemony fragrances. A superb variety for lovers of vibrant colors.

'Agatha' is a modern shrub rose related to hybrid tea roses, launched in 2022 by Edirose. Like all roses, it belongs to the large family of Rosaceae, which includes most of our fruit trees (apple trees, peach trees etc.), other trees, shrubs, ornamental perennial plants, as well as many wild plants in our countryside.
The genus Rosa is rich in numerous botanical species as well as a multitude of horticultural hybrids, classified into major categories. Historically, hybrid teas are the result of cross-breeding between perpetually flowering hybrids (with double and recurrent flowers) and tea roses (or tea-scented roses), obtained from 1833 onwards, with pretty moderately double flowers, but not very hardy and subsequently abandoned in favor of the hybrid teas that descended from them.

'Agatha' offers superb very double flowers whose numerous petals, usually 40 to 45, are perfectly arranged. Large turbinate flowers with a diameter of 9 to 10 cm (4in) that can be appreciated from a distance, as their coral red colour instantly catches the eye. This vigorous shrub with a rather upright habit reaches about 0.90 m (3ft) to 1 m (3ft) in height and 50-60 cm (20-24in) in spread at maturity, and its growth is fast. It produces strong, thorny branches that bear abundant foliage, with a shiny dark green colour, which contrasts strongly with the vibrant flowers. This rose blooms in successive waves from May to October, if faded flowers are removed and the soil does not dry out too much in July-August. The solitary roses bloom at the end of long shoots from the current year, or on 2-year-old stems. They exhale a pleasant fragrance with surprisingly lemony notes, which becomes more intense with the heat.

This 'Agatha' rose deserves a prominent place in the garden, where its vibrant colours will be a strong focal point throughout the beautiful season and until the first frost. It will be perfect in a flower bed, where you can accompany it with other flowering plants. Low perennials at its feet will form a lower vegetation zone, such as the 'Yellow Queen' perennial potentilla, with its charming bright yellow flowers during the summer, which will create a remarkable contrast with the coral red of the rose. The Å’nothera missouriensis will play the same role, but with much larger flowers, nearly 10 cm (4in) in diameter. If you prefer a more sober look, opt for white blooms, such as those of the 'Albiflora' Japanese Spirea, a compact shrub with a wider than tall habit, which will delight you in July-August with its clusters of small white flowers. You can also try combinations with the lavender blue of Perovskia, whose grey-green foliage will go well with Agatha's dark green colour, or with Caryopteris. And, of course, this rose will allow you to create sumptuous fragrant bouquets for your home.

Planting and care

To plant your rose, work the soil to a depth of 25 cm (10in), crumble the soil well and place a base amendment such as dried blood or dehydrated horn at the bottom of the planting hole. Position your plant, freed from its pot, covering the top of the root ball with 3 cm (1in) of soil. Fill in the hole and water thoroughly to eliminate air pockets. In dry weather, it is necessary to water regularly for a few weeks to facilitate root growth. Also, remember to provide your rose with special rose fertiliser that stimulates plant flowering.

Pruning modern perpetual roses is essential for flowering. It is done in three stages:

1. Maintenance pruning: regularly shorten the branches that have bloomed during the season. To encourage the reblooming of perpetual roses, remove faded flowers along with their stems, leaving 2 or 3 leaves.

2. Preparatory autumn pruning: light pruning that anticipates the true spring pruning. In regions with cold winters, it is not recommended tas it can weaken the bush.

3. Spring pruning: in February-March, when the buds have become shoots 2 to 3 cm (1in) long: prune the young strong branches to a quarter of their length.

Pruning always aims to open up the centre of the bush and remove dead wood, diseased branches, and weak shoots. Keep the most vigorous branches, usually 3 to 6 well-positioned branches, to maintain a beautiful habit. Always prune at an angle, ½ cm or 1 cm (<1in) above an outward-facing bud.
