Osiria Rose: A Striking Hybrid Tea Rose With A Fragrant Secret
The Osiria rose, a hybrid tea rose with a strong fragrance and striking cherry or fire engine red blooms, was introduced in 1978 by Mr. Reimer Kordes. Named after a sunken empire, Osiria roses are known for their true bloom colouration and white reverse on petals.
Osiria roses were hybridized from the Snowfire rose, which unfortunately had issues with fungal diseases and an abundance of thorns. The exact parentage of Osiria includes an unknown seedling, contributing to its mixed reviews among growers. Some report beautiful blooms, while others note weak necks and slow growth. Care for Osiria roses is similar to other hybrid tea roses, requiring winter protection in colder climates (USDA zone 7b and warmer).
Finding Osiria roses for purchase can be challenging due to potential disease susceptibility and weak blooms. Be cautious when buying based on online photos, as the actual plant may not match the image. In Germany, availability may vary by region and season, so it's best to check with local nurseries or online retailers.
