'Sensass Delbard ®' rose Description

My HMF:

HelpMeFind's future is in your hands - Please do not take this unique resource for granted.

Your support of HelpMeFind is urgently needed. HelpMeFind, like all websites, needs funding to survive. We have set a premium-membership yearly subscription amount as low as possible to make user-community funding viable.

We are grateful to the many members who have signed up so far, but the number of premium-membership members remains too small for us to sustain the current support and development level. If you value HelpMeFind and want to see it continue we need your support too.

Yearly membership is only $2.00 per month and adds a host of additional features, and numerous planned enhancements, to take full advantage of the power and convenience of HelpMeFind. Click here to start your premium membership..

We of course also welcome donations of any amount. Click here to make a donation. Donations of $24 or more receive a thank-you gift of a 1-year premium membership.

As far as we have come, we feel HelpMeFind is still in its infancy. With your support we have so much more to accomplish.

Notes:

Nigel Pratt at Tasman Bay Roses says this rose has shapely flowers of rich crimson-red and dark green glossy foliage...

Steve grows this rose in Ontario, Canada and writes: I have a 9 1/2 foot tall 'Sensass Delbard' in my yard. I know little about roses in general but it has managed to flourish. It is entering dormancy now (Nov 2) but it has 4 buds on it attempting to mature. It is
as described, dark green leaves with dark red flowers. It impressed me this year by shooting
out a 9 1/2 foot branch straight up that didn't need support until about 8 feet. 6+ feet of that branch grew inside 5 weeks. I eventually supported it on my second floor balcony and it continued to climb to about 9 1/2 feet. For protection over the winter, I have buried the base of the plant in about 2 feet of leaves (well it was two feet loose packed... with the rain today they have settled to about 1 foot thick) I am looking forward to seeing if the tall branch will survive the winter.
