Passionate Elegance: Meet Rosa In Love Again™
Rosa ‘In Love Again’ is a vibrant hybrid tea rose that lives up to its romantic name with bold red blooms and a performance that’s hard to forget. Belonging to the Rosaceae family, this rose is a standout not only for its striking color but also for its reliable disease resistance and garden versatility. Whether grown for its lush flowers or as a statement plant in your landscape, ‘In Love Again’ is sure to captivate.
A Vibrant Display of Red
The most compelling feature of ‘In Love Again’ is its vivid, rich red flowers. These spiraled, cupped, double blooms reach a generous 4 to 5 inches (10 to 12.7 cm) in diameter and contain 30 to 45 petals, creating an opulent, classic hybrid tea form. Though the blooms are fragrance-free—an advantage for those sensitive to scents—they make up for it with their elegant shape and intense color that holds well in the heat of summer.
Growth Habit and Foliage of Rosa ‘In Love Again’
This upright rose bush grows to a mature height of 30 to 60 inches (76 to 152 cm). It has a spread of about 24 to 48 inches (61 to 122 cm). It features very dark, glossy green foliage that contrasts beautifully with the deep red blooms. This gives the plant a polished, well-kept appearance even when not in full flower. ‘In Love Again™’ has a tidy structure, making it ideal for mixed borders, formal rose gardens, or as a focal point in smaller urban gardens.
Season-Long Blooming Power
Rosa ‘In Love Again’ is a persistent bloomer, gracing the garden with fresh flowers from late spring through to fall. As a self-cleaning variety, it drops its petals cleanly and reliably, allowing new buds to emerge without constant deadheading. This trait, along with its disease resistance, makes it especially low-maintenance and rewarding for both novice and experienced rose growers.
Tough and Trouble-Free
One of the highlights of ‘In Love Again™’ is its strong resistance to common rose ailments. It shows robust resistance to powdery mildew, rust, black spot, and downy mildew—issues that often plague more delicate rose cultivars. This plant is also hardy down to USDA Zone 5, making it a viable option for gardeners in cooler climates. For winter protection mulch it and plant it deep enough.
Planting and Care Tips for Rosa ‘In Love Again’
Rosa ‘In Love Again’ thrives in full sun but can tolerate partial sun (at least 6 hours daily). It prefers well-drained, humus-enriched, slightly acidic soil. But will adapt to clay, loamy, sandy, or even drier soils with good care. In mild climates, the crown should be planted at the soil level. In colder regions, it’s best to bury the crown 2 to 3 inches (5 to 7.5 cm) below the surface for added winter protection.
Water deeply but infrequently, ensuring the soil dries slightly between waterings—roses do not like soggy roots. It’s best to water in the early morning to reduce the risk of fungal disease. Prune to shape in late winter or early spring. Remove any dead or damaged wood, though this rose’s self-cleaning nature means minimal deadheading is needed.
A Rose for Every Romantic Garden
Whether you’re creating a cutting garden, designing a dramatic border, or simply seeking a showy, dependable rose, Rosa ‘In Love Again’ delivers. Its classic hybrid tea form, modern disease resistance, and season-long color make it a beloved addition for gardeners who want romance without the fuss.
