Duchesse de Brabrant
Tea Rose


Named after the Duke of Brabrant the Duchesse de Brabrant has a long history of being a favorite. As a boutonniere, Teddy Roosevelt was often seen sporting the bloom of Duchesse de Brabrant. This tea rose packs an allustrious pink bloom that emits an elegant fragrance. Blooming repeatedly from Spring to Frost, the very full blooms are sure a sight to see.

HOW TO PLANT

Find your Location - Roses should be planted in a nutrient rich well-drained soil with at least 6 hours of sun per day.
Plant It - Container grown roses are very easy to plant. Dig a hole 1 1/2 times the size of the container. Remove the rose from the container and gently loosen up the roots at the base. This will give your new rose a great start in its new home. The top of the root ball should be flush with the ground. Fill in the remainder of the hold will soil and cover with at least an inch of mulch.
Water it In - Grab your watering can, hose or even a cup; whatever it takes to start getting some fresh water on your newest addition. Make sure that you thoroughly water at the base of your new Duchesse de Brabrant to ensure it is soaking in. Water weekly to ensure blooming success.
ENJOY - With a little care, your roses will bring you years of enjoyment. Don't forget to stop and smell the roses.

**Growing Tip**
We suggest a very simple soil mix of top soil, composted cow manure and mini pine bark nuggets. This mix will provide a great environment for your new rose to thrive.
