Rose Casanova

Important: Available to pre-order — supplied as a 2-year-old bare-root rose. UK mainland delivery only.

Bring soft, elegant colour to your garden with Rose Casanova, a classic Hybrid Tea rose producing large apricot cream flowers with warm peach and creamy yellow tones. Its beautifully shaped blooms and mild fragrance make it an attractive choice for rose beds, mixed borders and cut-flower arrangements.

The large, high-centred flowers open gradually from pointed buds, revealing layers of softly coloured petals. Casanova is particularly appealing if you are looking for an apricot rose, a cream coloured rose, or a subtly fragrant Hybrid Tea variety for a warm pastel planting scheme.

Why choose the Casanova rose?

• Apricot cream flowers: warm peach, apricot and creamy yellow tones create a soft, elegant appearance.
• Large Hybrid Tea blooms: classically shaped flowers that work beautifully both in the garden and as cut flowers.
• Repeat flowering: produces flowers in successive flushes throughout the growing season.
• Mild fragrance: a light scent that complements the delicate colouring.
• Excellent for cutting: long, elegant stems make Casanova suitable for home-grown bouquets.
• Manageable upright growth: reaches approximately 90–120 cm at maturity.

Rose Casanova details

Where to plant Rose Casanova

Choose a sunny position where the warm apricot cream flowers can be appreciated at their best.

Casanova works particularly well with:

• white and cream roses
• soft pink roses
• lavender and purple flowers
• blue-flowering perennials
• silver or grey foliage

The warm colouring makes it especially useful for romantic, cottage-style and pastel planting schemes.

Allow approximately 50–60 cm between plants to provide sufficient room for growth and good air circulation.

Planting your bare-root Casanova rose

Unpack your rose promptly after delivery and keep the roots moist until planting.

Soak the roots in water for a few hours before planting to help rehydrate them.

Choose fertile, well-drained soil and dig a hole wide enough for the roots to spread naturally without bending or crowding.

Backfill with soil, firm gently around the roots and water thoroughly.

Bare-root roses should be planted during the dormant season when the soil is neither frozen nor waterlogged.

Caring for your Casanova rose

Water regularly during dry periods, particularly during the first growing season while the plant establishes.

Apply a suitable rose fertiliser during the growing season according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Remove faded flowers regularly to encourage further flowering.

Prune Hybrid Tea roses in late winter or early spring, removing dead, weak, damaged or crossing stems and shaping the plant to encourage healthy new growth.

A sunny position with good air circulation will help maintain healthy foliage and flowering.

Flower colour may vary slightly depending on temperature, sunlight, soil conditions and the age of individual blooms. Flowers may open with stronger apricot or peach tones and gradually soften towards cream as they mature.
