Named for the Thomas Hardy novel, Tess of the d’Urbervilles® features large, fragrant, 4" flowers with 70+ petals in a bright crimson color. Her blooms have a nice, deeply curved shape in the early stages, and then her petals turn back to a less formal flower. Tess of the d'Urbervilles®’ blooms are hefty and usually bend over, giving an elegant, cascading effect to the bush. Her growth is robust and spreads against large, dark green foliage. We love Tess of the d'Urbervilles®’ old rose and fruity-myrrh fragrance and that she is a generous, repeat bloomer. She can handle partial shade or pots and makes an excellent Climber.

Does well in Florida

Tess is a really good rose for Florida zone 9B. It started to bloom just a month or so after planting. Now in the subsequent year since initial planting, it is a regular bloomer. It seems well suited to this heat.

Beautiful and Fragrant

I planted Tess in a partial shade near my front porch and put in a large trellis for her to climb. I planted her in May, and she is blooming in June! the blooms are very fragrant. I hope she covers the trellis and makes my front porch smell like heaven!

Gorgeous flowers

my tess was a teeny tiny plant when i received her last summer, she has grown like a champ on an obelisk and her first flush this spring has probably 40 blooms! My plant doesn't have much of a fragrance yet, so I'm hoping that will develop with time, but it is a showstopper in the bloom department!

I cant wait !!

I purchased in 2022. Spring came and this Tess gave me runners with beautiful roses. As I am in Texas the heat was brutal in Summer 2022 and 2023.
I lost 2 other roses, but this Tess has stood the heat in both 2022 and 2023. When it blooms it is beautiful and smells wonderful !! I can't wait until it comes into it's beauty this next Spring and Summer and hopefully for years to come.
