Rouge Royal (a.k.a. Father’s Love) – The Rose with a Royal Heart and a Dad Joke Soul

Meet Rouge Royal, the James Bond of roses—suave, dashing in deep crimson, and fragrant enough to stop you mid-scroll. Also known as Father’s Love (because every dad deserves a rose that smells like raspberry jam and wisdom), this majestic hybrid tea rose blends elegance with emotional depth… and just a touch of drama.



Why you’ll love it:


  • Blooms like royalty: With 75 to 100 petals packed into every old-fashioned, quartered bloom, it looks like it took a PhD in blooming beautifully.
  • Fragrance that flirts: Think raspberry, strawberry, and a hint of anise—all wrapped in a scent so sweet, bees line up like fans at a concert.
  • Grows like a champ: Heat-tolerant, disease-resistant, and emotionally supportive (ok, maybe not the last part—but still, very hardy).
  • Height of refinement: Reaches 4–5 ft tall, making it perfect as a standout specimen or a royal hedge that says, “Yes, I garden with taste.”



Whether you’re planting it in honor of Father’s Day or just want to flex your rose game, Rouge Royal isn’t just another red rose. It’s a love letter in bloom—handsome, fragrant, and surprisingly low-maintenance (just like dad always wished you’d be).
