Description

When This Old Garden Rose Opens In Midsummer, You'll Experience A Flood Of Rich Colour And Musky Scent.

'Tuscany Superb' produces a glorious midsummer display. Semi-double flowers unfurl in deep crimson-purple, with a soft, velvety finish. Each bloom reaches up to 6cm across, revealing golden yellow stamens at the centre and releasing a powerful fragrance into the surrounding garden.

Compared with the widely grown 'Tuscany', this superb form produces larger flowers on taller, vigorous growth. Its upright habit reaches around 1.2m, perfect for a mixed border, rose bed or near a path or seating area where the scent can be fully appreciated.

Large, dark green leaves form a handsome backdrop throughout the growing season. Better still, the stems are nearly completely thornless. So, routine pruning is far more comfortable and allows fragrant blooms to be gathered for the house with fewer scratches.

Flowering one in summer, 'Tuscany Superb' even holds the RHS Award of Garden Merit, underlining its proven garden worth. Plant in a sunny, open position with fertile, well-drained soil, then water regularly while it establishes.

Supplied as a bare root rose, ready to plant.

Top Tips
Add mycorrhizal fungi to the roots when planting to help the plant establish quicker.
Care Information

Bare Root Rose Planting Advice:

  • Roses can be planted at any time of the year, as long as the soil is not frozen, waterlogged or drought dry.
  • Plant your rose where it can get plenty of sun for at least half of the day, and where it will be sheltered from the wind.
  • Add plenty of well-rotted manure into the hole and plant so that the graft union (the swollen are when the stems meet the roots) is just below soil level.

Aftercare Advice:

  • Water well every other day - daily if the weather is hot and dry.
  • Established roses can be watered around once a week through spring and summer - more if the weather is hot.
  • For best results, feed roses in late-March/April and again in late July.

Pruning Advice:

  • To prune, just remove any dead, dying, damaged and diseased stems and also deadhead regularly.
  • Traditionally, you would cut just above a leaf joint with a sloping cut away from the bud, however, this isn't necessary, and don’t worry about pruning too much - roses are very resilient and will grow back.
  • When pruning, make sure that your secateurs are clean and sharp to prevent squashing stems and introducing disease.
Delivery Information

Please allow us 3-5 working days to dispatch your order. Pre-ordered items will be sent as soon as possible after the date quoted and we'll generally ship your entire order with your pre-ordered items. When your order is dispatched, we'll send you another email with details of how to track it.

Most orders are sent on a fully-tracked courier service with Yodel. To avoid perishable items being stuck at depots and deteriorating, no signature is required, and our courier is asked to leave your order in a safe place on your property.

We'll send a tracking link when we dispatch your order, so you know when its due to arrive. Please note, once delivered we cannot be held responsible for loss or theft from your property. If you have any specific delivery instructions, please let us know - there's an option to enter a short message for the courier at the checkout.

Smaller, lighter, single-item orders may be sent through the post with Royal Mail - in which case no tracking is available.

Our experienced nursery team will always send your plants nursery fresh in the perfect condition to thrive when you plant them, so although most plants are very tough and will not be affected by all but the most extreme frosts or heatwaves, we avoid dispatching the most perishable plants if extreme weather is forecast, or over Bank Holiday weekends.

Please note, we cannot guarantee delivery on a certain day or time. Delivery to outlying postcode areas may take 1-2 days longer, dependent on your location.
