‘Cardinal de Richelieu’ Rose

bare-root plants

Rosa gallica 2-3' × 3-4' Laffay, France, 1840.

Unparalleled fragrant deep purple-burgundy very double 3" blooms in midsummer. Densely petaled flowers hold their fragrance and can be dried whole for potpourri. Smooth green foliage. Bushy and smooth stemmed. One of our all-time favorites here at Fedco. Rugged and easy to grow. Blooms on old canes, so little pruning or maintenance required. Soil adaptable. Sun or partial shade. Blooms in early to mid-June for about a month in central Maine. Disease and pest resistant. Z3/4. BACK! (9–18" bare-root plants)
