Rosette Delizy

Rosette Delizy, Paul Nabonnand 1921

Tea 

Général Galliéni X Comtesse de Bardi

Some people think that bi colored roses are only found in modern roses but that's definitely not true. Especially the Teas have some varieties in their ranks with beautiful exquisite bi colors.

Rosette Delizy from Paul Nabonnand is such a stunning rose. Still highly popular in more warm and dry climates this rose is of a breathtaking beauty. But don't let that put you off, she thrives in zone 7b to 11b
Rosette is a typical bushy Tea and can reach 130X100 cm or 5 X 3 feet. New growth is bronze red and nearly thornless.
From the buds emerge yellow - carmine pink outer petals with apricot carmine highlights. A good tea fragrance is clearly detectable. The beautiful flowers are borne solitary or in small clusters. The shrub blooms very freely throughout the season. As with all Teas Rosette Delizy thrives in hot dry weather but the colors are most intense in cooler weather. She doesn't like shade but she is rain tolerant. 

One of the most beautiful creations of Paul Nabonnand
