Rosa 'Mistinguett' - Floribunda Rose

The 'Mistinguett' Rose (Tan01360) is a modern bush from the 'Les Années Folles' series developed by the German rose breeder Tantau, inspired by the spirit of carefree and daring that characterised the interwar period. A beautiful tribute to the eponymous queen of the music hall who introduced Paris to the world, this variety is characterised by its retro style, large bright cherry red flowers, and delicate fragrance. In addition to its ornamental qualities, it is a robust bush resistant to rose diseases. Enjoy this characterful rose in your bouquets, in a small rose-dedicated bed, or near the patio.

The 'Mistinguett' Rose is a modern hybrid tea rose producing large, solitary flowers with long, sturdy stems adorned with thorns. The plant forms an upright bush with a regular habit, vigorous and fast growth. It will reach a height of approximately 90 cm (35in) with a width of 70 cm (28in). From May-June until late in the season, on foliage divided into large, dark green, dentate leaflets, roses with a diameter of 7 to 10 cm (3 to 4in) open, shaped like flat cups, composed of 80 to 100 petals. They open in the manner of old-fashioned roses in quarters. Their colour is a very vibrant cherry red, and their fruity fragrance is of light intensity. The disease resistance of this rose is good under satisfactory growing conditions. This deciduous, very hardy bush loses its leaves in autumn. It will thrive in rich, deep soil that stays cool in summer.

This modern 'Mistinguett' rose is planted in groups of 3 to 5 plants at the front of a shrub bed or as a standalone in a well-maintained small garden. Consider pairing it with small blue, deep pink, or white flowers to enhance it without overshadowing it. Perennial geraniums, catmints, bellflowers (lactiflora, rapunculoides), perennial salvias, and foxgloves are good companions for roses. Its long-lasting flowers make elegant and colourful bouquets.
