Rosa ht. 'Ink Spots' PP5855 (black/red)

This stunning hybrid tea rose features a striking upright habit, reaching a mature height of approximately 3-4 feet, with a spread of 2-3 feet. Its blooms boast a velvety, black-red color that adds a dramatic flair to any garden, making it ideal for cutting gardens or as a focal point in mixed borders. Recommended for hardiness zones 5-9, it thrives in temperatures ranging between 65-75°F. Best grown in well-draining, fertile soil enriched with organic matter, this rose prefers a full sun location for optimal flowering. While it doesn’t provide significant fall color, its glossy green foliage adds year-round elegance. This variety is also known for its moderate resistance to deer and some diseases, provided proper care is given. Regular deadheading will prolong bloom sessions, and its slightly upright to bushy form fits beautifully in classic or contemporary garden designs.
