Black Madonna – Bare Root refers to the Black Madonna rose supplied in dormant, soil-free form with exposed roots. Bare-root roses are lifted during winter dormancy and sold without soil to make handling, storage, and planting easier. They are typically planted in late winter to early spring while the plant is still dormant.

About Black Madonna (Rose):

• A hybrid tea or shrub rose (classification can vary by supplier)
• Produces very dark red to near-black buds, opening to deep crimson or velvety red blooms
• Flowers are usually large, elegant, and high-centered, making them popular for cutting and display
• Grows as an upright bush rose, often used as a feature plant in garden beds

Fragrance:
Black Madonna is generally described as having a light fragrance. Its main attraction is the rich, dark colouring and classic bloom form, rather than strong scent.

Bare-root planting notes:

• Soak roots in water for several hours before planting
• Plant in a sunny position with well-drained soil
• Ensure good spacing for airflow and disease prevention
• Water consistently during establishment and mulch to retain moisture
