Rose “Café Latte”
A truly unique and luxurious hybrid tea rose, “Café Latte” is celebrated for its unusual and sophisticated coloring. With warm, vintage-inspired tones ranging from milky coffee to dusty rose and bronze, this rose has become a favorite among florists and garden enthusiasts seeking something rare and elegant. Its classic bloom form and subtle fragrance make it both stunning in the garden and exceptional in floral arrangements.
1. Blooming
Blooms consistently from early summer into late autumn. Flowers typically appear singly on long stems, opening gradually into large, cupped blooms that last well on the plant and in a vase.
2. Color range
Features a truly rare color mix—soft café au lait tones blended with dusty pink, beige, and hints of antique bronze. The petals often change slightly with light and age, giving each flower a vintage, almost sepia-toned charm.
3. Fragrance
Light to moderate fragrance with sweet, floral, and slightly spicy undertones. Pleasant and elegant, without being overwhelming.
4. Bush size and shape
Upright and bushy growth habit with strong stems perfect for cutting.
- Height: 100–120 cm (3–4 ft)
- Width: 60–80 cm (2–2.5 ft)
Maintains a neat, vertical shape, making it suitable for garden beds, borders, or as a focal point in containers.
5. Foliage
Medium-sized, semi-glossy foliage in a rich green shade. Leaves create a graceful contrast to the soft, earthy tones of the flowers and maintain good appearance throughout the season.
6. Resistance and care
- Fair resistance to common rose diseases such as powdery mildew and black spot.
- Prefers full sun and fertile, well-drained soil.
- Regular care is needed: watering, feeding, deadheading, and light pruning.
- In colder zones, winter protection is recommended.
7. Uses
Ideal for floral arrangements and weddings due to its rare color and graceful shape. Also perfect for garden beds, borders, and pots where a refined, romantic atmosphere is desired.
“Café Latte” is a rose for those with a taste for the extraordinary. With its vintage-inspired tones, elegant form, and gentle fragrance, it brings a touch of timeless sophistication to any garden or bouquet. A true standout for rose lovers and designers alike.
