THIS VARIETY HAS BEEN RETIRED BY DAVID AUSTIN, NO LONGER IN PRODUCTION.
Tess of The d’Urbervilles is a beautiful climbing rose by David Austin. Its purple-red flowers are of a nice, deeply cupped shape in the early stages; the petals turning back to give a less formal but still attractive flower. The fragrance is light and repeats flowers. It was named after the main character from Thomas Hardy’s novel.
Planting instructions: Prepare a hole of size 30x30 cm. Put your rose in the way that the grafting point is 3 cm deep in the soil. Water well and cover new shoots with soil or bark mulch about 15 cm high. Roses tolerate wide range of soils but thrive in deep, humus-rich, moist but well-drained soil, in full sun.
Pruning: rambling or climbing roses are not supposed to be pruned. Just remove old or ill branches. Deadheading will help setting new flower buds.
