A modern cluster-flowered rose from the Parfuma collection that produces adorable little roses, with a white-pink hue, exuding a fragrance that is both gentle and intoxicating. This little bush with an upright habit blooms from June to October in successive waves and has very healthy, disease-resistant dark green foliage.

Description

The Rose 'Duchess Christiana / La Belle Rouet' is a wonderful new addition to the Parfuma collection developed by the rose breeder Kordes with the aim of offering demanding enthusiasts exceptional roses on perfectly robust plants, tested in the harsh German climate. On this small bush, clusters of small roses delicately tinged with very pale pink on a cream background bloom in successive waves, exuding a powerful and complex fragrance. Superb in borders, with small bushes or perennials, its modest growth also makes it suitable for container cultivation.  Its absolutely delightful flowers are very beautiful in a vase.

 

Rosa x floribunda 'Duchess Christiana/ La Belle Rouet', introduced in 2013, was awarded the highly selective German ADR label in 2015 for its exceptional disease resistance among other criteria. The bush, of modest size, is characterised by an upright and bushy habit, well-branched. It reaches about 70 cm (28in) in height and 40 cm (16in) in spread. Its thorny stems bear medium green leaves, glossy and divided into 5 finely toothed leaflets, resistant to diseases. Its flowering period is long, with successive waves from June to October if the soil remains moist. The pale pink buds, enclosed in green sepals, open into globular cups 5 cm (2in) in diameter filled with a multitude of tightly packed petals. The petals are light pink in the centre of the flower, and cream-coloured on the outer edges. The roses are grouped here in small terminal clusters.

Their fragrance has been analyzed and described as follows: it welcomes us with an unusual top note, the first impression evokes lemon, sparkling like champagne bubbles, with a touch of elderberry and a hint of ripe raspberry. However, the heart note is dominated by freshness. An impression of an apple picked from the garden after a summer rain escapes from the flower cups. The base note accompanies it, tender, sweet, pleasant, luminous, mixed with a bouquet of classic roses.

 

Floribunda roses can be used to create beautiful small hedges, planted mixed at the edge of the patio or in small shrub borders. Combine them with abelias, Mexican orange blossoms, or caryopteris, for example. They are good companions for phlox and baby's breath. This variety 'Duchess Christiana' will be enhanced when planted in groups of 3, forming a wonderfully romantic bush. You can surround it, for example, with catmintslavenders, and perennial salvias with blue, fuchsia, mauve, or white flowers. Also combine it with white ground cover roses (Swany, Marie Pavie...), bellflowers, or delicate grasses like Stipa (barbata, pennata, tenuifolia). This very hardy rose that requires little maintenance will thrive in full sun or partial shade. It will satisfy all gardeners, whether beginners or experienced.

Planting and care

Plant the floribunda rose Duchess Christiana from November to March, in ordinary, well-prepared, and well-drained soil. Roses prefer clay soils that are rather heavy than light. In soils that are too sandy, compact, or dry in summer, it is preferable to incorporate compost, decomposed manure, or humjus at the bottom of the planting hole. However, this rose dislikes waterlogged soils in winter. Place it in a sunny location, preferably in partial shade. Roses are hungry plants, and a specific fertiliser application will be beneficial at the start of vegetation, and regularly throughout the flowering period.

To encourage reblooming, regularly remove faded old flowers. Floribunda rose varieties are more vigorous and floriferous than large-flowered rose varieties. Therefore, prune the stems by about a quarter of their length (from 4 to 6 buds from the base of the stem) in late winter. Always prune above an outward-facing bud to allow the bush to bush out and prevent the branches from tangling in the centre of the branches.
