Henri Matisse - Delbard RoseHenri Matisse Floribunda Modern shrub rose which is now widely produced as a cut flower for florists as it is particularly favoured because it does so well as a cut flower specimen. The dark cerise red petals are slashed with bars of white and no two blooms are identical so the bush in a garden border, growing to around 1metre in height, is a constant reminder of how interesting roses continue to be! Henri Matisse is included in the Delbard Painters

Evergreen matt foliage

Healthy foliage

upright almost thornless stems produce clusters or single stems of highly fragrant perfectly formed blooms which are perfect in a vase

from budburst through to the full

with its outstanding performance and magnificent blooms is a fitting tribute to a truly outstanding Australian sportsman

The flowers last well in a vase where the exquisite velvet petals open slowly when picked in bud

Dark burgundy

extremely shiny and healthy foliage will foil the rambler throughout the season

Dense shrub

Just Joey may need an extra bit of TLC during humid weather and should be fertilized during flowering or it can tend to ‘run out of puff’ and resort to black-spot

or climbing in a special private place

Massive production of flowers continually over a long season
