Ingrid Bergman suits gardeners who care about bloom shape and a more formal rose presence. Its colour, scent, and upright habit should be judged together before choosing a visible planting spot.
Cultivar overview
Ingrid Bergman is a hybrid tea rose from Poulsen. Introduced in 1981, it is best understood through its dark red colour, moderate scent profile, and repeat bloom habit. Its moderate fragrance keeps the focus on bloom colour, form, and garden placement. Repeat flowering makes it easier to plan for more than one moment of interest during the season.
Garden character and use
Its hybrid tea character suits gardeners who want a clearer bloom outline and an upright plant that can hold attention near paths or seating areas. At about 3 ft by 2 ft, it needs a position where mature growth will not feel crowded. Its dark red colour gives it a strong, dramatic colour presence for gardeners who want the bloom to read from a distance.
Bloom, fragrance, and care notes
Ingrid Bergman is useful when repeat bloom matters more than one dramatic flush. With petal count noted as 35-40, the bloom has a useful clue to fullness and shape. Consistent watering, sun, and room for airflow will help keep the plant easier to enjoy through the season.
