ABOUT
Rosa Tatton, commonly known as 'Fryentice', is a variety of rose characterized by its stunning flowers and lush foliage. The blooms exhibit an enchanting color palette, often a blend of pinks, with the outer petals a lighter shade, gradually deepening to a more intense pink at the center. Some might also display hints of apricot or peach hues, adding to their beauty. The flowers themselves are full and rounded, packed with numerous petals that create a ruffled effect, giving them a classic, old-world charm. These petals have a velvety texture that further accentuates the richness of the colors. The blossoms are known for their impressive display and usually form in clusters, creating a showy and fragrant bouquet that can be a focal point in any garden setting. The foliage provides a perfect backdrop for the flowers with its deep green leaves that have a glossy sheen, showcasing the flowers and making their colors pop. The leaves are typically broad and slightly serrated on the edges, which contributes to the plant's overall lush appearance. Rosa Tatton's stems are sturdy and often adorned with thorns, a common trait among rose plants, providing both structural support for the blooms and a certain level of natural defense for the plant. The plant exhibits a bushy growth habit, contributing to its robust and attractive appearance throughout its growing season.

ToxicityTo humans
The Rosa Tatton, commonly known as a variety of rose, is not regarded as a toxic plant to humans. Roses are not known for having poisonous attributes, and accidental ingestion of rose parts typically does not lead to poisoning. However, roses have thorns that can cause physical injury if handled improperly. As with any plant, individual allergies or sensitivities may exist, and ingesting large quantities may cause discomfort or gastrointestinal upset due to the indigestible nature of the plant material, but this is not common.

Similarly, roses, like the Rosa Tatton, are not considered toxic to pets. They do not contain substances that are known to poison animals. However, the thorns can cause physical injuries, such as punctures or scratches. Ingestion of the roses, including the leaves and petals, may lead to mild gastrointestinal upset in some pets, like vomiting or diarrhea, mainly due to the ingestion of non-digestible matter, not due to systemic toxicity. It is always advisable to monitor pets and prevent them from ingesting plants to avoid any potential risks or complications.

WaterThe English Rose 'Rosa Tatton' requires consistent moisture but should not be overwatered. It is best to water deeply once a week with about 1 to 1.5 gallons for an established plant, ensuring the water penetrates the soil to reach the root zone. During hot and dry spells, watering frequency should be increased to twice a week. Avoid overhead watering to prevent foliar diseases. It's important to allow the top inch of soil to dry out between waterings to encourage strong root growth.
LightEnglish Roses like 'Rosa Tatton' prefer full sunshine for at least six to eight hours per day. They thrive in locations that provide morning sun, which helps to dry dew from the leaves, minimizing the risk of fungal diseases. Make sure the plant receives ample light but is protected from the intense heat of the late afternoon sun in hotter climates.
Temperature'Rosa Tatton' English Roses are adaptable to a variety of temperature conditions but perform best when temperatures range between 65°F and 75°F. While they can endure lower temperatures down to about -20°F, they may need protection in winter. The ideal growing conditions are where seasonal changes are moderate, avoiding extremes of cold or heat.
PruningPruning 'Rosa Tatton' English Roses is essential for maintaining health, encouraging blooms, and shaping the plant. Prune in late winter or early spring, removing dead or damaged wood and opening the plant's center to improve air circulation. Annual pruning also involves cutting back about one-third of the previous year's growth. The best time for this is when the forsythia blooms in your area, which typically indicates the end of the frost period.
CleaningAs needed
SoilThe best soil mix for the English rose 'Tatton' is one that is well-draining, enriched with organic matter such as compost or aged manure, and has a pH between 6.0 and 6.5. A mix of loam, peat, and perlite or sand in equal parts can create a suitable environment for healthy root growth.
RepottingEnglish roses, like the 'Tatton', typically do not require frequent repotting. They should be repotted every 2 to 3 years, or when they outgrow their current container. Choose a new pot that is only slightly larger to prevent overwatering issues.
Humidity & MistingEnglish roses, including the 'Tatton', prefer an outdoor environment and thus do not require specific humidity conditions indoor. They thrive best in natural humidity levels found outdoors which usually range from 40% to 70%.

Life cycleThe Rosa 'Tatton' typically begins its life cycle as a dormant bare-root plant or as a potted nursery specimen. After planting, it enters an active growth phase, developing roots, foliage, and stems. During the spring and summer, the plant produces flushes of flowers, commonly known as roses, which may attract pollinators and can be deadheaded to encourage further blooming. After its flowering season, the plant enters a stage of maturing and strengthening, during which time it may develop hips (seed pods) if the flowers have been pollinated. As temperatures drop in the fall, the rose bush prepares for dormancy, conserving energy and resources for the winter months. In subsequent years, the plant resumes its cycle of growth, flowering, and dormancy as long as it is given proper care.
PropogationPropogation time
Spring to early summer
Propogation: The Rosa Tatton, also known as the English rose, is often propagated by softwood cuttings. This method is popular for its relative ease and effectiveness. During late spring to early summer, when the new growth is still flexible but starting to mature, cuttings are taken from healthy, disease-free mother plants. A cutting typically measures about 5 to 10 inches (about 12.7 to 25.4 cm) and includes several sets of leaves. The lower leaves are removed, and the cut end is dipped in rooting hormone to encourage root development. The prepared cutting is then inserted into a well-draining potting mix. The cuttings must be kept under high humidity and indirect light until roots have formed, which usually takes about 6 to 8 weeks.
