What colour is Rose Monica?

Colour is one of the strongest characteristics of Rose Monica.

Its flowers can display a combination of:

• vibrant orange
• golden yellow
• warm amber
• soft coral-orange tones

The balance between orange and yellow can vary as each flower opens and matures.

Sunlight, temperature and flower age may also influence the intensity of the colour.

This makes Monica particularly appealing for gardeners looking for a bright orange rose or an unusual warm-coloured Hybrid Tea variety.

Fragrance

Rose Monica has a mild fragrance.

Its main attractions are its vibrant colouring, large flower form and repeat flowering rather than an intense perfume.

For stronger visual impact, plant Monica where its warm orange flowers can be appreciated against contrasting foliage or cooler-coloured companion plants.

Where to plant Rose Monica

Choose a sunny position with fertile, well-drained soil.

Its orange and golden-yellow flowers pair particularly well with:

• cream roses
• yellow roses
• white flowers
• deep red roses
• purple and lavender flowers
• blue flowering perennials
• silver or grey foliage

Purple, blue and lavender companions can create especially attractive contrast against Monica's warm orange colouring.

Allow approximately 60–80 cm between plants for mature growth and good air circulation.

Planting your bare-root Monica rose

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

Soak the bare roots in water for several hours before planting to help rehydrate them.

Choose a sunny position with fertile, well-drained soil.

Dig a planting hole wide enough for the roots to spread naturally without bending or crowding.

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

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

Explore Bare Root Roses

Rose Monica is supplied as part of our Bare Root Roses collection during the dormant planting season.

Autumn and winter are excellent times to establish bare-root roses, allowing their roots to settle before vigorous spring growth begins.

Caring for Rose Monica

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

Apply a suitable rose fertiliser during active growth according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Remove faded flowers regularly to encourage repeat blooming.

Prune in late winter or early spring by removing:

• dead stems
• damaged growth
• weak shoots
• crossing branches

Then shorten healthy stems to encourage strong new flowering growth.

Good sunlight and air circulation will help maintain healthy foliage and flowering.
