Double Delight is a world-renowned hybrid tea rose, celebrated for its unique and beautiful characteristics. The name perfectly describes its “double delight” of colour and fragrance. Its large, high centred flowers feature creamy white petals that develop striking crimson edges as they open and mature in the sunlight. This captivating colour contrast is complemented by an incredibly strong, fruity, and spicy fragrance that has set a benchmark for perfume in roses.
General Care Tips:
- Sunlight: Thrives in full sun, requiring at least 6 to 8 hours of direct sunlight daily to achieve the best colour and bloom production. While it can tolerate partial sun, this may result in fewer flowers and less vigorous growth.
- Soil and Watering: Plant in rich, well-drained soil with a slightly acidic pH (6.0-6.5). Water deeply and regularly, about twice a week, to keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Avoid overhead watering to prevent leaf diseases.
- Usage: An excellent choice for garden beds, as a stunning focal point, or in containers. Its long, sturdy stems and strong fragrance make it a fantastic cut flower for bouquets and arrangements.
