Eiffel Tower

from $26.50

Type: Hybrid Tea

Brand: Barbier Frères & Co

Availability: Preorder for 2024

The aptly named Eiffel Tower grows 2 metres high with huge pink flowers on long, fine, straight stems. Prized for its spectacular, long buds in cut flower arrangements and bouquets, this David Armstrong and Herbert Swim rose is just as beautiful when it opens slowly into a 13cm bloom, re-leasing a fragrance reminiscent of an expensive French perfume.

In the garden, Eiffel Tower is a great choice to grow against a wall or fence. Slightly more pernickety than some roses it is still moderately disease resistant and toughens up to our* hot dry conditions.

Comment:

Quoted from SA Rose Society:
There is something very special about a rose that can consistently produce 7 – 10cm long rich pink flowers on strong, straight stems of 0.5m – 0.75m. This rose was aptly named Eiffel Tower and was bred and released by David Armstrong and Herbert Swim, in the USA, almost 50 years ago.
As a bush, Eiffel Tower will generally reach a height of 2 metres or more and 1.1m in width. It has a delightful lifted rose fragrance.
Unusually, Eiffel Tower is most renowned and admired for its long, elegant pink buds with 2 to 4 petals unfurling, rather than as a medium to fully open flower. It is often used to great advantage to form the outline of a large floral arrangement. In the garden, it makes a ideal backdrop as a tall rose planted near a fence or shed.
Eiffel Tower enjoys our hot, dry Mediterranean climate and flowers throughout the entire growing season. It is relatively disease resistant.
Readily available, Eiffel Tower is definitely worthy of a place in our gardens.

Potted Rose Supplied in Plastic Pot or Gro Bag. May be supplied as a recently potted dormant plant during Winter while into Spring and Summer will be well established and pos-sibly flowering. A potted rose will be settled long enough to establish that it has a good sur-vival rate. Protect from frost and keep well watered.

Bare-Root Rose will be supplied only in damp paper with sawdust, sphagnum or peat moss and as the name suggests with bare roots ready to plant and must be planted immedi-ately after soaking for 24 hours after arrival. Bare-root roses have more risk of non-survival than a potted rose and generally one would expect 80-90% survival rates.

Water well and often with no fertilisers at planting for approx. 3 weeks until established.
