About
Rosa 'Gavotte' is a hybrid tea rose that flowers from June to September. It belongs to the genus Rosa within the Rosaceae family. The cultivar carries the long-stemmed, well-formed bloom habit typical of hybrid teas and is often grown where cut flowers are required. Deadheading spent blooms and routine seasonal pruning keep its flowering period productive through the summer months.

In the garden
Rosa 'Gavotte' is a hybrid tea rose in the Rosaceae family and, like other hybrid teas, is grown principally for its well-formed, long-stemmed blooms. Its flowering season runs from June to September, providing a sustained display across the British summer. That span suits gardeners who want a reliable supply of single-stem blooms for cutting. Select a sunny, well-ventilated spot with free-draining, fertile soil; good air movement helps reduce common foliar problems. Prune to shape in late winter or very early spring before new growth appears, and remove spent flowers through the season to encourage further bloom. A balanced feed in spring and a follow-up feed after the first heavy flush of flowers supports continued production. Rosa 'Gavotte' suits rose borders, dedicated rose beds and cutting gardens where stem length and bloom form are valued. Plant with enough space for airflow between plants to limit disease pressure and reserve several stems as they reach full opening for vase use—this cultivar responds well when blooms are cut at the right stage for display indoors.
