These roses have a lustrous texture, and they exude a strong, sweet fragrance that is both captivating and delightful to the senses. The leaves of the Ingrid Bergman rose are a glossy, dark green, providing a beautiful contrast against the richness of the red flowers. This provides a perfect backdrop that highlights the brilliance of the blooms. The plant itself has a bushy appearance with sturdy stems that are often armed with thorns. As a hybrid tea rose, it is cultivated for its exquisite, solitary flowers that perch atop each stem, making them standout features in gardens and floral arrangements.

WaterThe Ingrid Bergman rose should be watered deeply once a week, providing about 1 to 1.5 gallons per plant to ensure that the water reaches far into the root zone. During hot and dry periods, you may need to water twice a week. It's important to avoid overhead watering to prevent disease; instead, water at the base of the plant using a soaker hose or drip irrigation to keep the foliage dry. In the winter, reduce watering, but do not allow the soil to become completely dry. Ensure the soil drains well to prevent waterlogging, which can lead to root rot.
LightThe Ingrid Bergman rose thrives in a location where it receives at least six hours of direct sunlight each day. Full sun exposure is essential for the plant's health, vigorous growth, and abundant bloom production. An east or west-facing garden spot that enjoys the morning or late afternoon sun is ideal and can help protect the blooms from the most intense midday rays during the peak of summer.
TemperatureThe Ingrid Bergman rose does well in a wide range of temperatures, but prefers consistent daytime temperatures between 65 and 75 degrees Fahrenheit. It can survive minimum temperatures as low as 20 degrees Fahrenheit when established, but it will require protection if temperatures dip lower. During the winter, applying mulch around the base can help insulate the roots from extreme cold.
PruningPrune the Ingrid Bergman rose to maintain its shape, encourage healthy growth, and to remove dead or diseased wood. Pruning should be done in the early spring, after the last frost and when the buds begin to swell. Remove any thin, weak canes, leaving 3 to 5 of the strongest canes. Pruning is also the time to cut back the top of the remaining canes by about one third to encourage vigorous new growth and abundant flowering.
CleaningAs needed
SoilHybrid Tea Roses like Rosa 'Ingrid Bergman' thrive in well-draining, fertile soil with a pH of 6.5 to 7.0. A mix containing equal parts loam, peat moss or compost, and perlite or coarse sand is ideal to ensure good drainage and fertility.
RepottingHybrid Tea Roses such as Rosa 'Ingrid Bergman' do not typically require frequent repotting and are often planted directly in the ground. However, if grown in containers, repotting every 2 to 3 years or when the plant outgrows its current pot is sufficient.
Humidity & MistingRosa 'Ingrid Bergman' prefers moderate humidity levels. While they are adaptable to various outdoor humidity conditions, it is important that the foliage remains dry to prevent disease, ensuring a healthy rose bush.
Suitable locationsIndoor
Place in bright, indirect sunlight and water thoroughly.
Outdoor
Plant in full sun, enriched soil, water, and mulch well.

Life cycleThe life of a hybrid tea rose, such as Rosa 'Ingrid Bergman', begins with seed germination, although commercial propagation often involves grafting or cuttings to maintain specific cultivar traits. After germination or root development from cuttings, the plant enters a vegetative stage where it establishes its root system and produces stems and leaves. As the plant matures, it develops buds that eventually blossom into the characteristic full, fragrant flowers, typically starting in late spring and recurrently blooming through summer and fall. After pollination, which may be less frequent in hybrid teas due to breeding for petal density, the plant may produce hips (seed pods) if not deadheaded. The plant enters dormancy during the winter, conserving energy and pausing growth, which is essential for surviving colder temperatures. With the return of warmer weather in spring, the cycle begins anew with renewed growth and flowering.
PropogationPropogation time
Spring to early summer
The Rosa 'Ingrid Bergman', also known as 'Poulman' (PBR), is a patented variety of hybrid tea rose that is most commonly propagated through the method of budding. This technique is usually carried out in late summer when rose stocks are actively growing. In the process of budding, a bud from the Rosa 'Ingrid Bergman' is grafted onto the rootstock of a different rose plant that has been selected for its hardiness and vigorous root system. The bud is carefully inserted under the bark of the rootstock after a T-shaped cut is made. It is then secured in place with budding tape or raffia. Over a few weeks, the bud unites with the rootstock to develop a new Rosa 'Ingrid Bergman' plant, carrying all the characteristics of the original, including its stunning red flowers. It's important to note that this method must be performed with precision to ensure the bud takes successfully and grows into a healthy plant.
