Noted for its incredibly powerful perfume, Rosa Fragrant Cloud is a lovely Hybrid Tea rose with very large, 5 in. across (12 cm), full, high-centered, bright coral-red flowers (27-35 petals). The eye-catching blossoms are strongly scented, a delightful mix of citrus, damask, fruity, spice fragrance. Prolific, they bloom in flushes from spring to fall. Borne mostly solitary, they stand out against the splendid foliage of glossy, dark green leaves. Hardy, vigorous, of upright habit, this shrub rose was voted into the Rose Hall of Fame by the World Federation of Rose Societies in 1981.

• Grows up to 3-4 ft. tall (90-120 cm) with a 2-3 ft. spread (60-90 cm).
• An excellent choice for beds and borders or containers. Great cut flowers.
• Best grown in full sun, in rich, fertile with adequate moisture, well-drained soils.
• Some susceptibility to blackspot and mildew.
• Spring Pruning: Remove old canes and dead or diseased wood and cut back canes that cross. In warmer climates, cut back the remaining canes by about one-third. In colder areas, you'll probably find you'll have to prune a little more than that.
• Bred by Mathias Tantau, Jr. (1912 - 2006) (Germany, 1963).
