About
Rosa Maritime Bristol ('Santang') is a hybrid tea rose in the genus Rosa, noted for repeat flowering from June to September. As a modern hybrid tea it produces blooms in the classic single-flower-on-a-stem form associated with cut roses. It belongs to the family Rosaceae and suits formal rose beds or positions where its flowering can be appreciated. Regular removal of spent blooms encourages further flowering through the season.
About the genus

In the garden
Rosa Maritime Bristol ('Santang') belongs to the genus Rosa within the family Rosaceae and is grown as a hybrid tea rose. Hybrid teas are developed for their typified single blooms carried singly or in small clusters, and Maritime Bristol ('Santang') follows that pattern with repeat flowering from June to September. Plant where you can see the flowers clearly; hybrid tea roses perform best in a sunny, sheltered spot with free-draining soil and good air movement to reduce disease pressure. Give a firm planting and an annual framework prune in late winter or early spring to shape the bush and encourage strong new shoots. Apply a balanced fertiliser from spring as shoots start and during the main growing season to support continuous bloom. In UK gardens it fits formal rose beds, mixed perennial borders as a vertical accent, or a dedicated cutting garden where stems can be harvested. Maintain clear spacing for airflow and remove spent flowers promptly to promote further flushes. Because it flowers from June to September, plan pruning and feeding to coincide with the main growth periods to get the best run of blooms for both garden display and cutting.
