Rosa Princesse Astrid de Belgique - Hybrid Tea Rose

The 'Princess Astrid of Belgium' Rose is a modern hybrid tea rose with large, generous, elegant, and intensely fragrant flowers, created by the famous Georges Delbard Nurseries and Rose Gardens in 2018. This bush has gained its nobility thanks to its flowers with numerous delicate and refined cream white petals. From May to October, they bloom abundantly on a vigorous bush that is exceptionally disease-resistant. This flower is a decoration for the garden and a treasure for homemade bouquets, with its exquisite fragrance!

'Princess Astrid of Belgium' Rose is a modern bush rose with large flowers obtained by Delbard, chosen and officially named by the Princess at the Palace of Brussels in 2018. This excellent variety forms a beautiful bushy shrub that reaches approximately 1.20 m (4ft) in height and 60 cm (24in) in spread at maturity, with rapid growth. It produces sturdy branches that bear light and elegant foliage of medium green colour and is not very susceptible to diseases. Throughout the beautiful season and until the gates of autumn, if faded flowers are removed, the plant produces numerous buds that open into large, deep and turbinate flowers of a light and delicate cream white, with a tight heart, typical of modern hybrid tea roses. The flowers are gathered in bouquets at the end of long shoots from the current year or emerging from 2-year-old stems. An intense fragrance with spicy notes also distinguishes the repeat flowering.

This 'Princess Astrid of Belgium' Rose, with its great vigour and disease resistance, its soft and luminous colour, and its wonderful fragrance, is ideal in a pot on the terrace, in a bed of roses or light perennials, or as a standalone in a small well-maintained garden. It is also perfect for use in large borders, making a strong impact when planted in groups of 3 specimens. It will find its place in the garden of a fragrance plant enthusiast, whether beginner or experienced. Some light-flowering perennials (Autumn Asters, foxgloves, penstemons), grasses, lavender, and catmints are ideal for enhancing its beauty and accompanying it late in the season. Easy-to-grow and simple perennials such as Geranium Rozanne, Geranium Pink Cloud, Nepeta Walker's Low, and bellflowers will accompany it for a good part of the beautiful season. Its cut flowers, with good longevity, are naturally perfect for bouquets.
