Anne Marie is especially worth considering when fragrance is part of the garden experience. Its flower colour, scent, and mature size all affect where it will be enjoyed most often.
Cultivar overview
Anne Marie is a hybrid rose from Tantau. Introduced in 2012, it is best understood through its deep orange to apricot colour, medium fruity scent profile, and repeat bloom habit. Its medium fruity fragrance is one of the main reasons to consider it for a spot close to people. Repeat flowering makes it easier to plan for more than one moment of interest during the season.
Garden character and use
Place it where fragrance can be noticed in passing: near a path, seating area, gate, or a mixed border close to daily movement. At about 3.5 ft by 3 ft, it needs a position where mature growth will not feel crowded. Its deep orange to apricot colour gives it a warm colour family that can shift beautifully with light and bloom age.
Bloom, fragrance, and care notes
Anne Marie is strongest for gardeners who care about both scent and repeat bloom. With petal count noted as 60, the bloom has a useful clue to fullness and shape. Give it good airflow, steady watering, and a sunny position so the fragrance and flower form have the best chance to show well.
