Abbaye de Cluny

The rose of the month for January is the hybrid tea Abbaye de Cluny. It was introduced in 1996. Abbaye de Cluny is a free-blooming rose with fragrant apricot blooms that hold their cupped shape well. The compact bushy growth works well for beds and borders. It has won many awards in European trials but is not widely grown in the US. As a hybrid tea it requires heavy winter protection in Zone 4.
