Classic romantic air in velvety red 🌹
Family: Rosaceae · Pot diameter: 3 L · Current height: 30–40 cm
Rosa ‘Hanne’® is a classic Hybrid Tea rose with deep-red high-centred flowers and a strong fragrance. Numerous petals create a velvety surface as they unfold, while each bloom is held clearly on an upright cane. Dark glossy foliage forms a calm background and strengthens the formal romantic character of the large flowers. The result combines velvety deep red with high-centred flowers without losing the cultivar’s natural identity.
Give it a central position in a small rose bed or an individual container near seating, so the deep colour is not lost in a busy palette and the scent remains close.
Three elements define this exact cultivar’s form and presence.
Dense dark petals absorb light and give the flower visual depth.
Inner petals remain upright until the flower is fully open.
Each large bloom stands clearly on an upright stem suitable for cutting.
Why you will love it: because velvety surface gains a clear presence on a upright bushy Hybrid Tea rose, without excessive styling.
Plant in full sun at 70–90 cm spacing, with open space for air to move among the canes.
Keep the flower colour clear with blue, silver or yellow accents from plants sharing full sun, airflow and free-draining soil.
Full sun, ideally at least six hours, with air moving around the foliage.
Water deeply when the upper 3–4 cm have dried; avoid small daily amounts.
A hardy deciduous plant; protect the pot from prolonged hard frost and drying wind.
Not intended for eating. Wear gloves around prickly canes and keep treated plant parts away from children and animals.
Full sun, ideally at least six hours, with air moving around the foliage.
Water deeply when the upper 3–4 cm have dried; avoid small daily amounts.
Deep fertile but free-draining soil with organic matter and no standing water around roots.
Balanced feed at growth onset and a second light application after the first flush, always on moist soil.
Prune in late winter according to the natural habit, removing dead, weak or crossing canes. In late winter retain a few strong canes and remove weak or crossing growth at the base.
Water at the root, clear fallen leaves and inspect young shoots for aphids or fungal spotting.
During the first season it directs energy into root establishment and a few strong new shoots rather than filling its final space immediately.
Each new cycle adds basal canes of different ages, carrying the repeated flowering display.
With long-term growth it reaches about 0.5–1 m in height and 0.5–1 m in width, forming a upright bushy Hybrid Tea rose.
At maturity it forms a upright bushy Hybrid Tea rose, about 0.5–1 m × 0.5–1 m.
Both drawings show the same natural architecture as foliage, flowers and active growth change.
What to expect after planting: The final habit develops gradually; retain the natural framework and assess growth over a complete season.
‘Hanne’ is attributed to Danish breeder Olaf Sønderhousen and was introduced in 1959, with ‘Ena Harkness’ × ‘Peace’ recorded as its parentage.
The velvety effect comes from the way petal microstructure and dark pigments absorb and scatter light.
Petals are added around the floral axis in a spiral arrangement, producing the characteristic high centre.
