Cultivar description

About Tess of the d`Urbervilles

Tess of the d`Urbervilles is for gardeners planning height, structure, and a strong vertical rose moment. Its crimson-red flowers, medium, old rose fragrance, and mature spread matter as much as the support you choose for it.

Cultivar overview

Tess of the d`Urbervilles is a english climbing rose from David Austin. Introduced in 1997, it is best understood through its crimson-red colour, medium, old rose scent profile, and repeat bloom habit. Its medium, old rose 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

Use it where a vertical rose can earn its space: along a fence, over an arch, against a pillar, or on a sturdy trellis with room for training. At about 8 feet by 8 feet, it needs a position where mature growth will not feel crowded. Its crimson-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

Tess of the d`Urbervilles is strongest for gardeners who care about both scent and repeat bloom. With petal count noted as 110, 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.
