What colour is Rose Gaujard?

The unusual combination of red and silver-white is the defining characteristic of Rose Gaujard.

Its large, double flowers display vivid cherry-red to cerise-pink upper petal surfaces, while the reverses develop contrasting silvery-white or pale pink tones.

Depending on sunlight, temperature and flower maturity, the blooms may display:

• rich cherry red

• vivid cerise pink

• raspberry-red shades

• pale pink

• silvery white

• soft cream-white highlights

As the flowers open, the pale undersides become increasingly visible, creating a beautiful contrast around the edges of the blooms.

This distinctive colouring makes Gaujard an attractive choice for gardeners who enjoy unusual Hybrid Tea roses.

Fragrance

Rose Gaujard has a light, delicate fragrance, sometimes displaying subtle sweet or fruity notes.

Its main attraction is the spectacular contrast between its richly coloured upper petals and silvery-white reverses, rather than an intense perfume.

The strength of the fragrance can vary according to flower maturity, temperature and weather conditions.

For gardeners looking for roses with dramatic flowers and a gentle scent, Gaujard is a beautiful choice.

Is Rose Gaujard repeat flowering?

Yes. Rose Gaujard is a repeat-flowering Hybrid Tea rose.

It normally produces its first main display during early summer, followed by additional flowering flushes throughout the growing season.

With suitable care, regular deadheading and sufficient sunlight, the plant can continue producing attractive flowers into autumn.

The blooms are often produced individually on upright stems, making this variety particularly suitable for cutting.

Where to plant Rose Gaujard

Rose Gaujard performs best in a sunny position with fertile, well-drained soil and good air circulation.

Its upright growth and large decorative flowers make it suitable for:

• traditional rose beds

• mixed flower borders

• formal gardens

• feature planting

• cutting gardens

• cottage gardens

• large garden containers

The vivid cherry-red flowers look particularly attractive alongside white roses, pale pink flowers, lavender, blue-flowering perennials and silver-grey foliage.

Allow approximately 75–100 cm between plants, depending on the desired planting arrangement and mature growth.

Rose Gaujard as a cut flower

One of the most attractive qualities of Rose Gaujard is its suitability for cutting.

Its large blooms, classic Hybrid Tea shape and contrasting petal colours make it particularly attractive for floral arrangements.

Rose Gaujard is ideal for:

• romantic rose bouquets

• red and white flower arrangements

• traditional cut flower displays

• contemporary floral designs

• mixed garden bouquets

• decorative table arrangements

The silvery-white petal reverses create an especially elegant effect when the flowers are displayed in a vase.

Cut stems when the buds are beginning to open, preferably during the cooler part of the day.

Place freshly cut flowers into clean water promptly and refresh the water regularly.

Can Rose Gaujard grow in a container?

Yes. Rose Gaujard can be grown in a large, deep container with adequate drainage.

Choose a suitable rose compost or soil-based growing medium and position the container in a sunny location.

Container-grown roses need regular watering and feeding, particularly during warm weather.

Ensure the container provides sufficient space for root development and allow good air circulation around the foliage.

Planting your bare-root Rose Gaujard

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

Position the rose at a suitable planting depth, spread the roots evenly, backfill with soil and firm gently.

Water thoroughly after planting.

Avoid planting when the ground is frozen or waterlogged.

Bare-root planting during the dormant season allows the rose to begin establishing its root system before active spring growth.

Our Bare Root Roses collection includes a wide selection of dormant Hybrid Tea, Floribunda, Shrub and Climbing Roses suitable for seasonal planting in UK gardens.

Caring for Rose Gaujard

Rose Gaujard benefits from regular care to maintain healthy foliage, strong growth and repeat flowering.

Watering: Water thoroughly during dry periods, particularly during the first growing season while the plant establishes.

Feeding: Apply a suitable rose fertiliser in spring and again during active growth according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Deadheading: Remove faded flowers regularly to encourage additional blooming.

Mulching: Apply organic mulch around the base of the plant to conserve moisture, improve soil conditions and suppress weeds.

Air circulation: Maintain sufficient spacing between plants and remove congested growth where necessary to reduce the risk of fungal diseases.

How to prune Rose Gaujard

As a Hybrid Tea rose, Gaujard is generally pruned in late winter or early spring.

When pruning:

• remove dead, damaged or diseased stems

• remove weak or crossing growth

• shorten healthy stems to encourage strong new flowering shoots

• maintain an open and balanced framework

• remove unwanted growth developing below the graft union, where applicable

Regular pruning helps maintain a healthy rose bush and encourages strong stems capable of supporting large flowers.
