Lagerfeld™ on Fortuniana Rootstock
Elegant, sophisticated, and unforgettable, Lagerfeld™ on Fortuniana Rootstock is a striking Hybrid Tea rose celebrated for its rare silvery lavender blooms, powerful fragrance, and exceptional cutting qualities. Inspired by timeless style and refined beauty, this remarkable rose brings a cool, romantic color palette to the garden while the vigorous Fortuniana rootstock ensures outstanding performance in warm climates.
Lagerfeld™ produces large, perfectly formed blooms in luminous shades of silvery lavender with soft lilac undertones. The classic high-centered flowers open slowly, revealing layer upon layer of beautifully arranged petals that seem to shimmer in changing light. Its unique coloring pairs beautifully with white, blush, pink, and deep purple roses, creating an elegant and sophisticated landscape.
Equally impressive is its strong citrus and old rose fragrance, filling the garden with a rich, refreshing perfume. Long, sturdy stems and long-lasting blooms make Lagerfeld™ a favorite for cutting gardens, allowing you to enjoy beautiful arrangements indoors as well as in the landscape. Blooming repeatedly from late spring through fall, it delivers continuous waves of elegant flowers throughout the growing season.
Budded onto Fortuniana rootstock, Lagerfeld™ develops an exceptionally vigorous root system that encourages faster establishment, larger mature plants, heavier bloom production, and outstanding tolerance of heat and humidity. The result is a healthier, longer-lived rose that performs beautifully where many traditional roses struggle.
