Product description
Tulip Roeska is a quintessential, ultra-reliable Triumph tulip that produces a perfectly formed, classic cup shape in a bright, cheerful shade of mid-pink. It is famously sturdy, weather-resistant, and heavily favoured by commercial growers specifically because it holds its shape and colour so brilliantly.
Set the bulbs deep into loamy soil in late autumn to protect them from winter wet. This variety is incredibly tough and requires very little fuss, making it perfect for the cutting garden; just remember to cut the stems cleanly if taking them indoors, and leave the remaining foliage to die back naturally.
These bulbs are supplied at a size of 11-12.
