Climbing Hybrid Tea
Mme Victor Verdier X Safrano
A magnificent climber that needs much more attention. There's a lot of confusion concerning this rose as it is always sold as the old climbing Tea "Roi de Siam" from Laffay. But the rose from Laffay was already lost and extinct by 1850. So when you order Roi de Siam you'll always get King of Siam from Brauër.
It's a vigorous climbing HT and can reach 2,5 to 3,5 meters or 11 to 14 feet.
The parents are extremely well known and are rose royalty. Mme Victor Verdier is a beautiful Hybrid Perpetual with strong fragrance and Safrano doesn't need introduction anymore as this Tea is the parent of hundreds of magnificent roses.
It was written in the stars that King of Siam would be a very beautiful rose.
The big buds open into these very large cherry 🍒 pink HT blooms. They have a very strong fruity fragrance. The blooms are held upright on strong stems so absolutely no flopping over or nodding heads.
The rose repeats well and can be trained against a trellis, a fence, an arch or large obelisk.
Zone 6b to 10b
A wonderful rose
