Rosa Henri Delbard - Hybrid Tea Rose

The 'Henri Delbard' Rose is undoubtedly the favourite of the famous rose breeder among his latest creations that highlight the fragrance and romance of flowers while not neglecting the robustness of the plants. With its old-fashioned shape, this rose opens up in a full cup in a warm gradient of coppery orange, revealing a heart as shimmering as a sunset and releasing a fruity fragrance with green notes, citrus, and mango. The flowering of this variety is particularly perpetual, and its very long-lasting flower in a vase is ideal for creating scented bouquets. The vigorous and healthy bush that carries them also has a very good natural resistance to rose diseases.

'Henri Delbard' 'Delclaudibi', registered in 2018 by Delbard, already received an award in Madrid in 2015 for its perfume. It is a modern bush rose with large flowers, vigorous and bushy in habit. Under good conditions, it reaches a height of about 90 cm (35in) and a spread of 60 cm (24in) at maturity, with rapid growth. This rose produces thorny branches that bear dense foliage cut into large, toothed leaflets of a dark green colour. Throughout the summer and until October, if faded flowers are removed, the plant continuously produces well-double flowers of medium size, measuring 9-10 cm (4in) in diameter, with a slightly flattened cup shape reminiscent of certain old roses. They open in tight quarters. Their colour is a mix of pink-orange, orange, and apricot, with the outer part of the flower often tinged with cream and pink. The Corolla's centre is adorned with flamboyant tones. The flowers are borne at the end of long shoots from the current year or emerging from 2-year-old stems. Their fragrance is pronounced. The foliage of this variety is remarkably healthy.

As the rose breeder, Delbard, explains about his rose 'Henri Delbard': "With the colour of a summer sunset, its perfume with exotic notes and its excellent disease resistance make it one of our most beautiful creations..."

'Henri Delbard' is a beautiful rose that will delight enthusiasts of warm-toned flowers. This variety only requires fertile soil that remains moist to express itself fully. A solid, romantic, and fragrant bush, ideal for planting in borders or groups of 3 plants at the centre of a flowerbed. It blends well with perennials and light annuals such as paniculate gypsophila, campanulas, paniculate phlox, or tall foxgloves. Its moderate growth is suitable for gardens of all sizes. It can also be paired with a small herbaceous clematis (alpina, integrifolia, heracleifolia). It can also be placed near the house to enjoy its superb fragrance, alone or in combination with the vibrant Le Grand Huit rose or the white 'Fée des Neiges' rose. Finally, its roses are stunning in bouquets, combined with lilies in summer or asters in autumn.
