Rose ‘Alec’s Red’
Alec’s Red is a classic, velvety deep-red hybrid tea rose renowned for its large, perfectly formed blooms and strong, elegant presence in the garden. The richly coloured flowers are borne on long, sturdy stems, making this rose an excellent choice for cutting. Its glossy dark-green foliage provides a beautiful contrast to the intense red blooms, while the plant itself grows into a neat, upright bush ideal for beds, borders, and formal rose gardens.
Care Instructions

Sunlight: Plant in full sun for best flowering (at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily).
-
Soil: Prefers well-drained, fertile soil enriched with compost or well-rotted manure.
-
Watering: Water deeply and regularly, especially during hot or dry periods. Avoid wetting the leaves to reduce disease.
-
Feeding: Feed with a balanced rose fertiliser during the growing season to encourage healthy growth and abundant blooms.
-
Pruning: Prune in late winter or early spring, removing weak or dead wood and shaping the plant to promote strong new shoots.
-
Mulching: Apply mulch around the base to conserve moisture, suppress weeds, and improve soil health.
Alec’s Red is a timeless rose that rewards good care with repeat flowering and stunning, long-lasting blooms throughout the season.
