Kardinal is a magnificent hybrid tea rose, highly valued for its classic beauty and exceptional performance. This rose produces stunning, high-centred blooms in a rich, velvety crimson red that holds its colour beautifully without fading.

General Care Tips:
- Sunlight: Prefers a position with full sun, needing at least 6 to 8 hours of direct sunlight each day to produce the best colour and the most abundant blooms.
- Soil and Watering: Plant in rich, well-drained soil. Water deeply and regularly, especially during the warmer months, to keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged.
- Usage: With its long stems, ‘Kardinal’ is an excellent rose for garden beds where its blooms can be appreciated, and it is considered one of the best varieties for cutting to create beautiful bouquets and arrangements.
