Rose Bush planted in late June 2026 in the backyard
by the new Japanese Maple Tree in Boylston, MA.
Jenny's comments
"The plant itself is rough but I think it's because it's "established" with "decent roots" so we will see. My other roses did not make it. Already very pokey. Has stabbed both of us twice and it's not even in the ground."
About the Rosa Olympiad
A Hybrid Tea Rose
A Shrub Rose
Lightly scented Hybrid Tea Rose with large, full, high-centered, pure red flowers, 5 inches across, packed with 32 to 37 petals.
A light fruity fragrance.
Blooming in flushes from spring to early fall.
Vigorous, heat tolerant that is very disease resistant
and perfect for beds, borders or as a flowering hedge.
A great rose for cutting too.
Grows 3-5 feet tall and 2 feet wide.
Best grown in full sun, in rich, fertile and well-drained soils
with adequate moisture.
Spring Pruning: Remove old canes and dead or diseased wood and cut back canes that cross. In warmer climates, cut back the remaining canes by about one-third. In cooler areas, youll probably
find you'll have to prune a little more than that.
