Rosa ‘Andeli’ Double Delight®
If you walk past without stopping… something is not quite right 🌹
- Cream and red
- Strong fragrance
- Large flowers
- Repeat flowering
Rosa ‘Andeli’ Double Delight® is a classic Hybrid Tea rose with large cream flowers that develop an increasingly broad strawberry-red edge as they mature in sunlight. Each high centre opens slowly and releases a powerful sweet fragrance, making the cultivar more than a visual experience. Upright canes usually hold the blooms separately, giving each one the clear presence of a cut rose on the bush.
Place it where people can approach it—beside a path, near a doorway or in a generous individual pot—so its scent and changing petal colour can be appreciated.

What makes it distinctive
Three elements define this exact cultivar’s form and presence.
High-centred bloom
Inner petals unfold from an upright cone, characteristic of Hybrid Tea roses.
Powerful fragrance
Its volatile fragrance profile is a defining trait rather than a minor accompaniment.
Why you will love it: because sun-developed edging gains a clear presence on a upright bushy Hybrid Tea rose, without excessive styling.
In the garden & on the terracePlacement & plant combinationsAllow 70–90 cm, open sun and air around the canes without exposing them to harsh drying wind.
Ideal position
Allow 70–90 cm, open sun and air around the canes without exposing them to harsh drying wind.
Compatible combinations
Keep the flower colour clear with blue, silver or yellow accents from plants sharing full sun, airflow and free-draining soil.
- Lavandula angustifolia ‘Hidcote’ — the low purple mound scents the base and enjoys the same sun
- Allium ‘Purple Sensation’ — spherical flowers appear early among the rising canes
- Geranium ‘Rozanne’ — long-lasting blue flowers cover the ground without hiding the roses

Detailed careComplete care guideLight, watering, soil, feeding, pruning and problem prevention.
Position & light
Full sun, ideally at least six hours, with air moving around the foliage.
Watering & drainage
Water deeply when the upper 3–4 cm have dried; avoid small daily amounts.
Soil & repotting
Deep fertile but free-draining soil with organic matter and no standing water around roots.
Feeding
Balanced feed at growth onset and a second light application after the first flush, always on moist soil.
Pruning & habit
Prune in late winter according to the natural habit, removing dead, weak or crossing canes. Remove weak and crossing canes in late winter, retaining an open centre.
Problem prevention
Water at the root, clear fallen leaves and inspect young shoots for aphids or fungal spotting.
Development through timeFrom establishment to mature habitFrom first establishment to the exact plant’s natural mature habit.
First season
During the first season it directs energy into root establishment and a few strong new shoots rather than filling its final space immediately.
Establishment
Each new cycle adds basal canes of different ages, carrying the repeated flowering display.
Mature scale
With long-term growth it reaches about 90 cm in height and 50–100 cm in width, forming a upright bushy Hybrid Tea rose.
Mature habit & dimensions

History & originCultivar originThe documented history of the exact cultivar and the limits of what is known.
‘Andeli’ was bred in the United States by Herbert Swim and introduced in 1977 as Double Delight®. Its bicolour develops as the cream corolla gains a red edge with light exposure.
Double Delight® is included in the World Federation of Rose Societies’ Rose Hall of Fame.
Greenleaf for Plant NerdsScience nobody asked forBotanical detail for anyone who wants to know what lies behind the plant’s appearance
Light-induced red pigment
The red edge is not fully fixed in the bud: exposure of opening petals to light stimulates additional anthocyanin production while the sheltered centre remains cream.
No two blooms exactly alike
Light intensity, temperature and petal age alter the width of the red zone, so one plant can open blooms with different proportions of cream and red.
