Henri Matisse Rose is a spectacular plant known for its vibrant colors. These flowers are celebrated for their exquisite forms and mesmerizing fragrances that have captivated gardeners and art enthusiasts alike.
Rosa ‘Henri Matisse’ is a Hybrid Tea rose bred by Georges Delbard, known for its large striped blooms in shades of pink, red, and white. This rose stands out with a unique and wonderful appearance and is fragrant. It’s named after the famous French artist Henri Matisse, whose art inspired this variety.
Henri Matisse was born in Le Cateau-Cambrésis, Northern France, on New Year’s Eve in 1869. He was the oldest son of a wealthy grain merchant and grew up in Bohain-en-Vermandois, Picardie. Delbard bred the rose variety in 1993 in France and introduced it to the world in 1996.
The ‘Henri Matisse’ rose beautifully captures the essence of the artist’s vibrant work, making it a unique addition to gardens. The lively color of these roses makes them preferred for ornamental gardens and eye-catching floral designs.
You can use different methods like semi-hardwood cuttings, hardwood cuttings, and grafting to propagate Henri Matisse Rose.
Use clean and sharp gardening shears to cut a piece of the stem about 6 inches long. Remove the leaves from the lower half of the cutting and dip the cut end of the stem into the rooting hormone.
Fill a pot with a well-draining soil mix. Make a hole in the soil with a pencil or stick, and insert the cutting into the hole. Water the soil around the cutting and place it in a warm and bright location. Over time, the cutting will develop roots and grow into a beautiful Henri Matisse rose.
Henri Matisse Roses thrive with at least 5-6 hours of direct sunlight daily, which adds to the color and beauty

Silver birch (Betula pendula) is a deciduous tree with a slender shape and graceful appearance, which has given rise to its lovely name of the ‘lady of the woods’. Silver birch trees look attractive year-round with white bark, spring catkins and yellow autumn leaf colour. The catkins and seeds are popular with wildlife such as bees and birds, while several species of moth lay eggs on birch leaves.
Hardy fuchsias are commonly grown in UK gardens, and it’s no surprise – many flower from June to November and need very little care. Native to Central and South America, most hardy fuchsias survive UK winters (RHS hardiness rating H4), although some may still require protection from the harshest weather (RHS hardiness rating H3 or H2). In milder parts of the UK, hardy fuchsias can grow into a shrub up to 3m in height but in colder regions they may be damaged by frost and require cutting back to the base, from where they regrow in spring.

On holiday in Portugal one spring, I was intrigued to see a very familiar plant in very unfamiliar (to me, anyway) surroundings. Among the orange groves and ornately-tiled pavements was a municipal planter, out of it leaning a rather old and leggy poinsettia, with straggly woody stems, with small bracts at the end. The gentle warmth of the Algarve in March was a world away from the winter supermarket dashes that I tend to associate these plants with.
