Lady Capri Hybrid Tea Rose

Rosa x hybrida 'Lady Capri'

The Story

Plant Bio

The genus Rosa consists of deciduous woody shrubs and climbers characterized by alternate, pinnate leaves and stems armed with sharp prickles. These plants produce multi-petaled, often highly fragrant flowers that rely on insect pollination and are followed by fleshy hips.

'Lady Capri' is a compact, upright hybrid tea rose bred by Rosen Tantau in 2021, reaching up to 39 inches in height with highly glossy, dark green foliage. The large, double flowers feature a classic high-centered form with over 41 petals in shades of creamy apricot and soft peach-orange, emitting an intense fruity fragrance.

Uses & Benefits:

Produces large, double, highly fragrant peach-orange flowers continuously from summer to frost against glossy dark green foliage.

Excellent as a long-lasting cut flower with sturdy stems, and features high natural resistance to common rose diseases.

Provides pollen for generalist insect pollinators like bees during the summer and fall.

Planting

How to Grow

Select a planting site in full sun with fertile, humus-rich, and highly well-drained soil.
Dig a hole twice the width of the root ball and incorporate organic matter or specialized rose potting mix.
Carefully remove the plant from its pot, place it in the hole ensuring the graft union sits just below the soil surface, and backfill.
Water deeply at the base and apply a layer of organic mulch, keeping it clear of the main stems to retain moisture and suppress weeds.

Pro Tip

Avoid planting 'Lady Capri' in sites previously occupied by other roses without completely replacing the soil to prevent replant disease. Maintain clean cultivation by removing fallen autumn foliage to prevent fungal spore carryover, and space plants to allow four to five specimens per square meter for mass displays.

Keep It Thriving

Care Guide

Do

Deadhead regularly during the flowering season by cutting back to the first fully developed leaf node to stimulate continuous blooms.
Water deeply at the base of the plant to keep the soil consistently moist while keeping the foliage dry.
Apply a balanced rose fertilizer during the active growing and flushing seasons from spring through mid-summer.

Don't

Do not plant in heavy, saturated soils with poor drainage, which leads to root rot.
Do not prune into old, leafless wood that lacks active buds.
Do not overhead water in the evening, as prolonged leaf wetness invites fungal pathogens.
