BURGUNDY™ – burgundy hybrid tea rose - Tanjga
If You would like a rose that looks luxurious but behaves reliably in an ordinary Irish family garden, BURGUNDY™ is an easy choice. Its compact, neat hybrid tea habit fits smaller beds and front gardens, while the deep wine-red blooms bring a genuinely romantic touch to paths, porches and cottage-style borders. In Ireland’s moist climate, where good soil preparation helps manage persistent humidity and heavy ground, this own-root shrub settles in steadily and forms a dense, balanced bush. The 2‑litre plant arrives well rooted, so You simply plant, water and let it grow. In year one it builds roots, in year two stronger shoots, and by year three You see its full ornamental value. Its compact height suits containers and edging just as well as beds, giving You an orderly framework for other perennials. With regular deadheading it repeat-flowers generously, providing a season-long display of velvety burgundy blooms that look as elegant in the vase as they do in the garden.
