Kardinal Rose Melbourne

The Kardinal rose is a hybrid tea rose, a cross between a hybrid perpetual rose and a tea rose. Kardinal Hybrid tea roses are known for their large, high-centred blooms that grow on long stems and are often used in cut flower arrangements. They typically bloom in flushes throughout the growing season and come in various colours, including pink, red, yellow, and white. The Kardinal rose, in particular, is known for its vibrant red blooms and strong fragrance, and is a popular choice among gardeners and rose enthusiasts.

A Kardinal standard rose is a variety of the Kardinal rose grafted onto a tall stem, creating a small tree-like form. Standard roses, also known as tree roses, are a popular ornamental plant that can add height and structure to a garden. Kardinal standard roses are prized for their vibrant red blooms and strong fragrance and are often used as a focal point in garden beds or as a standalone feature in pots or containers. They require the same care and maintenance as other Kardinal roses, including regular watering, fertilisation, and pruning to promote healthy growth and abundant blooms.

A Kardinal rose bush is a must-have in your garden if you like red roses. Nearly everything about this rose variety is ideal for growing, including its bloom colour, leathery foliage, form, plant vigour, disease resistance, winter protection and cold tolerance, and thick petals. They are also a very versatile species and can be used as standard roses, cut flowers and in various arrangements. However, they do have sharp thorns and a mild fragrance which is something to remember when planting.
