Rosa Ingrid Bergman So Beautiful
Rosa 'Ingrid Bergman': A Timeless Tribute in Crimson Velvet

Named after the legendary Swedish actress whose timeless elegance and charisma captivated audiences for decades, this hybrid tea rose is a fitting tribute—a rose that exudes grace, strength, and enduring appeal.
Origins and Breeding History
'Ingrid Bergman' was bred by the famed Danish rose breeding company Poulsen Roser and introduced to the world in 1984. It is the result of a cross between two notable rose varieties: 'Precious Platinum' and an unnamed seedling. The rose was quickly recognized for its exceptional qualities and was honored with the prestigious All-America Rose Selections award in 1987.
Its namesake, Ingrid Bergman, was one of the most luminous actresses of her time, known for films like Casablanca, Gaslight, and Anastasia. Like the actress, the rose is both captivating and resilient, possessing a classic beauty that never goes out of style.

Each flower typically measures between 10 to 12 cm in diameter and boasts up to 30-35 tightly packed petals, forming a classic high-centered hybrid tea shape. The rich red hue remains intense throughout the bloom's life and does not fade quickly in the sun, which sets it apart from many other red roses.
