What colour is Rose Kronenbourg?

The dramatic colour combination is the defining characteristic of Rose Kronenbourg.

Its large flowers display rich crimson-red to burgundy-red upper petal surfaces, while the reverses develop contrasting golden-yellow or creamy-yellow shades.

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

• deep crimson red

• velvety ruby red

• burgundy-red tones

• golden yellow

• butter yellow

• soft cream-yellow reverses

As the flowers open, the contrasting undersides become more visible, creating an elegant bicolour effect.

Is Kronenbourg the same as Flaming Peace?

Yes. Kronenbourg and Flaming Peace are two names used for the same rose variety.

Kronenbourg is widely recognised for its distinctive crimson-red flowers with contrasting golden-yellow petal reverses.

It is closely associated with the classic Peace rose, but its rich red and yellow colouring creates a much more dramatic visual effect.

Gardeners searching for Flaming Peace rose can therefore find the same variety under the name Kronenbourg.

Fragrance

Rose Kronenbourg has a light to mild fragrance.

Its main appeal is the unusual colour contrast, large elegant flowers and repeat-flowering performance rather than an intense perfume.

Kronenbourg is therefore particularly suitable for gardeners who prioritise spectacular flower colour and classic Hybrid Tea form.

Where to plant Rose Kronenbourg

Kronenbourg performs best in a sunny position with fertile, well-drained soil.

Its upright habit and large flowers make it suitable for:

• traditional rose beds

• mixed flower borders

• formal garden planting

• feature planting

• cutting gardens

• large garden containers

The rich red and yellow flowers combine particularly well with white roses, pale pink flowers, lavender, blue flowering perennials and silver-grey foliage.

Allow approximately 60–90 cm between plants to provide room for mature growth and good air circulation.

If you enjoy large, elegant flowers on upright stems, explore our Hybrid Tea Roses collection for more distinctive varieties suitable for UK gardens.

Rose Kronenbourg as a cut flower

Kronenbourg is an attractive rose for cutting because of its large flowers, elegant shape and contrasting petal colours.

Its blooms work particularly well in:

• romantic rose bouquets

• red and yellow floral arrangements

• traditional cut flower displays

• contemporary floral designs

• mixed garden bouquets

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

Place freshly cut stems in clean water promptly and refresh the water regularly.

Planting your bare-root Kronenbourg 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 generous planting hole wide enough for the roots to spread naturally without bending or crowding.

Position the rose at a suitable planting depth, backfill with soil, firm gently and water thoroughly.

Avoid planting when the soil is frozen or waterlogged.

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 range of dormant Hybrid Tea, Floribunda, Shrub and Climbing Roses for seasonal planting in UK gardens.

Caring for Rose Kronenbourg

Rose Kronenbourg benefits from regular care to encourage healthy growth and repeated flowering.

Watering: Water thoroughly during dry periods, especially during the first growing season.

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

Deadheading: Remove faded blooms regularly to encourage further flowering.

Mulching: Apply organic mulch around the base of the plant to conserve moisture and reduce competition from weeds.

Air circulation: Maintain sufficient spacing between plants and remove congested growth where necessary.

How to prune Rose Kronenbourg

As a Hybrid Tea rose, Kronenbourg 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 shoots

• maintain an open, balanced framework

• remove unwanted growth below the graft union where applicable

Regular pruning helps maintain a productive plant with healthy new flowering stems.
