TRESOR DU JARDIN – cream-pink hybrid tea rose – Adam
Elegant and classically shaped, TRESOR DU JARDIN brings exhibition-quality blooms into your own garden with a softly creamy-pink palette and a strong, fruity fragrance. This upright hybrid tea produces large, very double flowers on sturdy stems, ideal for cutting and admiring indoors as well as enjoying in the border. Its dense, dark green foliage provides a refined backdrop for the luminous flowers, fitting beautifully into cottage-style front gardens and formal layouts alike. As an own-root plant, it develops a stable, balanced bush that regenerates well over time and supports a long-lived display with modest pruning and deadheading. In typical British conditions it appreciates regular feeding and careful watering, particularly where drainage is improved on heavier soils or slightly raised beds. From its first season you see it settle, by the second it fills out with strong shoots, and by the third year it reaches its full ornamental potential, rewarding thoughtful but straightforward care. Planted near paths, seating areas or front doors, its strong scent and luminous blooms become a daily pleasure.
