TRESOR DU JARDIN – cream-pink hybrid tea rose - Adam
Bring a touch of French romance to your front garden with TRESOR DU JARDIN, a compact hybrid tea rose that gives You refined, exhibition-style blooms without needing specialist skills. Its large, cupped flowers in a cream-to-pastel-pink palette look luxurious in small Irish gardens, while an intense, fruity fragrance makes every walk past the front door feel special. This own-root rose settles in reliably even in our wetter, cooler conditions and copes well where humidity and mild fungal pressure are part of everyday gardening. The bush stays neat and upright, ideal for narrow borders, low hedges or a single specimen by a path, and the long, straight stems are perfect for cut flowers for the house. Over time, the own-root habit supports a long-lived, regenerating bush that keeps its ornamental value for many years. In a 40–50 litre container on a doorstep or balcony it becomes a real feature, while in a small group of three it creates a classic, romantic display that feels like a true “treasure of the garden”. As with all roses, allow it time to settle – roots in year one, strong shoots in year two, then full ornamental value by year three.
