Rose Camille Pissarro Delbard

• Developed by renowned French rose breeder Delbard, this cultivar is named after the famous Impressionist painter Camille Pissarro.
• Features romantic blooms with striped and variegated petals in delicate shades that create an artistic, painterly effect in the garden.
• Exhibits excellent fragrance that perfumes the garden, particularly strong in the morning and evening hours.
• Shows good disease resistance compared to older rose varieties, making it easier to maintain in Australian conditions.
• Loved for its unique colouring and artistic appeal that brings a touch of European elegance to local gardens.

• Water deeply at the base 2-3 times weekly in summer, reducing to once weekly in winter; avoid wetting foliage to prevent fungal issues.
• Position in full sun receiving at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily for optimal flowering and plant health.
• Plant in rich, well-draining soil enriched with compost and aged manure; roses thrive in slightly acidic to neutral pH.
• Feed with a balanced rose fertilizer in spring, after each flowering flush, and in late summer to support continuous blooming.
• Prune in late winter by removing dead wood, crossing branches, and cutting back by about one-third to encourage strong new growth.
• Deadhead spent blooms regularly throughout the growing season to promote repeat flowering and maintain a tidy appearance.
• Apply organic mulch in spring and autumn to conserve moisture, regulate temperature, and add nutrients as it breaks down.
• Monitor regularly for pests and diseases, particularly in humid weather, and address issues promptly for best results.

• Provide full sun for at least 6 hours daily to encourage abundant flowering and healthy growth.
• Water deeply 2-3 times weekly during warmer months, reducing frequency in cooler seasons; always check soil moisture before watering.
• Apply a thick layer of organic mulch around the base to retain moisture, regulate soil temperature, and suppress weeds.
• Feed with a rose-specific fertilizer in early spring, after each flush of blooms, and again in late summer for sustained performance.
• Prune in late winter to shape the plant, remove dead wood, and encourage vigorous new growth and flower production.
• Ensure good air circulation around the plant to minimize fungal disease issues common in humid Australian climates.

• Aphids can cluster on new growth and buds; spray with a strong jet of water or use horticultural oil for heavier infestations.
• Black spot fungal disease may appear as dark spots on leaves; ensure good air circulation, avoid overhead watering, and remove affected foliage promptly.
• Powdery mildew presents as white coating on leaves in humid conditions; improve air flow and apply fungicide if needed.
• Spider mites thrive in hot, dry weather causing stippled leaves; increase humidity around the plant and use miticide for severe cases.
• Root rot occurs from poor drainage or overwatering; plant in well-draining soil and water only when the top layer feels dry.
