Rosa Jazz Festival - Modern Hybrid Tea Rose

The 'Jazz Festival' Rose is a compact bush with excellent floribundity and a warm colour, with shades of orange and pink, rich without being aggressive. This variety will seduce with its beautiful health, its large flowers beautifully turned and lightly scented, carried by long stems. Produced abundantly from May-June until the first frost, these roses are as bright in the garden as they are in bouquets.

'Jazz Festival' is a modern rose, a hybrid tea launched by the Meilland house in 2013. This excellent variety has received several awards: Silver Medal Altera Rosa Avignon in 2012, Gold Medal La Haye in 2013, Silver Medal Monza in 2013, and Bronze Medal Adelaide (Australia) in 2018. It is a small shrub with a bushy and erect habit, a bit stiff, which reaches about 70 m (230ft) in height and 50 cm (20in) in width at maturity. It grows rapidly. It produces strong, green, thorny and well-branched stems, which carry an elegant foliage, of a fairly dark green with a semi-matte finish, very resistant to diseases. Throughout the growing season, if care is taken to remove faded flowers, the plant continuously produces large flowers with a diameter of 11 cm (4in), whose turbinate shape is typical of hybrid tea roses. They are composed of 40 to 45 rounded petals. Their colour is an ochre orange nuanced and widely margined with coppery pink. The flowers are solitary, carried at the end of long shoots of the current year or on 2-year-old stems. The recurring flowering exhales a light fragrance.

In the garden, the 'Jazz Festival' Rose composes small flower beds and borders abundantly blooming for months. Its small size is also suitable for pot culture on a terrace or balcony. Its fiery flowering harmonises with red, orange or salmon tones, it contrasts beautifully with blues, purples and violets. To accompany it, choose from perennial plants with light blooms (Asters in autumn, sages, penstemons), as well as grasses and catmints, are ideal for enhancing its beauty and accompanying it late in the season. For example, pair it with Geranium 'Rozanne', with heuchera 'Binoche'. Its flowers make beautiful bouquets, in the company of white peonies and white lilacs as well.
