GRAND MOGUL – cream-white tea-hybrid rose - Delbard-Chabert

Premium own-root GRAND MOGUL material provides a stable base for nursery-scale production where repeatable flower quality and exhibition-grade form matter in 5–7 L container lines. As a remontant hybrid tea with high-centred, pointed-budded blooms, it is well suited to premium container routes targeting exclusive retail and reseller ranges. Upright, bush-trained plants with 3–5 strong canes support predictable framework development, while own-root regeneration underpins long-term stock sustainability and reliable cultivar maintenance. Over a three-year arc – roots in year one, structural shoots in year two, full ornamental value in year three – GRAND MOGUL builds into a distinctive cut-flower and specimen offer that also fits thematic rose collections in regions where dependable winter and wind tolerance is required.

Usage options

Target area	Reasoning
Premium 5–7 L container production for exclusive retail	The high-centred, pointed-budded hybrid tea bloom form translates directly into a premium container product route, particularly in 5–7 L pots where flower quality and exhibition presence are core selling points. Bush-trained, 3–5 cane material supports fast framework establishment for a premium container release form with medium maintenance inputs. This aligns to exclusive finished product positioning aimed at retail/reseller.
Cut-flower oriented nursery lines	Solitary, high-centred flowers on upright stems make GRAND MOGUL suitable for nurseries building cut-flower oriented garden rose lines, especially where exhibition-type hybrid teas are requested. Using bush-trained NEONATAL stock into 5–7 L premium containers helps deliver plants capable of furnishing long-stemmed blooms for cutting while keeping maintenance at a medium level. This supports exclusive ornamental and cut-flower propositions for retail/reseller.
Specimen plants for thematic and show gardens	The upright habit and moderately dense, glossy mid-green foliage suit use as individual specimens within thematic rose gardens or cultivar collections, where form and presentation are closely scrutinised. Own-root, bush-trained material allows nurseries to build stable stock blocks and then pot on into premium containers, maintaining identity and long-term sustainability. This underpins exclusive, named-cultivar offerings through retail/reseller.
Flower-bed focal points in curated plantings	Medium-height, upright growth (around 100–140 cm) fits structured flower-bed layouts where a clear vertical accent and consistent flowering are required. NEONATAL material can be lined out or potted into 5–7 L premium containers for subsequent bed use in institutional or curated private schemes, with medium maintenance and occasional pest and disease control. This supports exclusive rose selections provided via retail/reseller.
Thematic cream-white and ivory colour ranges	The soft ivory to cream-white colour, with buttery-yellow nuances fading towards near-white, makes GRAND MOGUL valuable in colour-themed collections and retail concepts focused on pale, elegant palettes. Premium 5–7 L containers grown from own-root bush-trained starts provide a coherent look on the bench and in displays, with medium maintenance linked mainly to deadheading and standard care. This fits curated, colour-led assortments for retail/reseller.
Fragrance-led premium garden rose assortments	The classic, medium-strength rose fragrance allows growers to position GRAND MOGUL within scented hybrid tea ranges, complementing its flower form and colour. Bush-trained NEONATAL plants moved through a premium container path to 5–7 L create a high-perceived-value, fragrant product without excessive cultural complexity, supported by moderate maintenance expectations. This suits fragrance-focused offers for retail/reseller.
Regions needing robust winter hardiness	With hardiness around -21 – -18 °C (RHS H7, Swedish Zone 3, USDA 6b), GRAND MOGUL can underpin stock and finished production for nurseries serving cooler UK regions where winter and wind exposure are significant. Own-root propagation ensures better regeneration after stress, supporting long-lived, homogeneous stands in premium 5–7 L containers with medium maintenance and occasional disease management. This strengthens reliable, exclusive ranges for retail/reseller.
Low-risk disease profile within premium ranges	Moderate overall disease resistance with documented resistance to powdery mildew and black spot gives growers a more predictable, lower-risk option for premium lines, with rust management remaining an occasional focus. In a bush-trained, premium container route, this translates into steadier quality, fewer losses, and more consistent 5–7 L batches under medium-maintenance regimes. This supports dependable, high-quality assortments for retail/reseller.

Technical cultivar profile

Parameter	Data
Name and registration	Hybrid tea rose marketed as GRAND MOGUL, with American Rose Society exhibition name Grand Mogul; current trade name: Grand Mogul Hybrid tea rose Delbard-Chabert; registered cultivar name not provided.
Origin and breeding	Bred in France by André Delbard-Chabert from cross ‘Sultane’ × ‘Chic Parisien’; introduced and distributed by Delbard / Georges Delbard SA around 1964–1965; registration and commercial release recorded in 1965.
Growth and structural characteristics	Upright hybrid tea bush reaching approximately 100–140 cm in height with 65–95 cm spread; moderately dense, glossy mid-green foliage; moderately thorny canes; self-cleaning weak, so spent flowers usually need targeted deadheading.
Flower morphology	Medium-sized, double, high-centred hybrid tea blooms with 26–39 petals, borne mainly solitary on stems; repeat flowering with a strong second flush described as remontant and bountiful, making it suitable for ongoing ornamental and cutting use.
Colour data and phenology	Cream-white base colour with soft buttery-yellow tones; newly opened flowers show a golden-yellow shimmer at the petal base, then open to warm cream-white before fading towards almost snow-white with a light greenish edge; overall colour retention described as poor.
Fragrance and aroma	Noted for a classic rose fragrance with medium strength, giving a clearly perceptible, traditional rose scent in garden or container settings; primarily ornamental, with no specific cosmetic or soap-use data provided for this cultivar.
Hip characteristics	Hip set generally low due to fully double flowers, though occasional small, spherical orange-red hips may form; hips typically globular and around 8–12 mm in diameter, with no significant ornamental fruit display expected under normal cutting and deadheading.
Resistance and winter hardiness	Moderate general disease resistance with good resistance to powdery mildew and black spot, but only moderate performance against rust; winter hardiness rated RHS H7, Swedish Zone 3, USDA Zone 6b, tolerating approximately -21 – -18 °C under standard conditions.
Horticultural recommendations	Suited to flower beds, cut-flower use and specimen planting; maintenance level medium with occasional pest and disease control advised; performs well in warm conditions but needs irrigation in prolonged drought; bush-trained release with 3–5 strong canes recommended.

GRAND MOGUL combines exhibition-style blooms, robust winter hardiness and moderate disease resistance in a predictable own-root form that supports long-lived, regenerating stands; please get in touch to discuss scheduling and volume alignment.
