Ascot has dense purple-raspberry round flowers. A neighbouring rose can lighten the composition, create a powder-pink transition or develop the cool palette with a different flower scale.
White-pink sprays create a clean pause and bring out the rich purple of Ascot.
Soft pink cups soften the move from white to purple and add a calmer middle tone.
Choose lavender-pink depth or a sharper fuchsia-raspberry rhythm of a different form. You do not need to use both accents together.
Partners are placed by conditions: perovskia and lavender in drier sun, heuchera on a cooler edge.
Do not surround Ascot with several very double purple and fuchsia varieties of the same height: the composition will become heavy and lose its clear main role.
Where to plant. At the front or middle of a mixed border, beside a light-coloured wall, or in a large container. Conditions: sun, air circulation, and 40–50 cm between neighbouring bushes. Water less often but thoroughly, without keeping the soil constantly wet. Winter in Ukraine: in the south and in sheltered places the base is earthed up; in central, northern and eastern regions the bush is covered with breathable material after a sustained cold spell.
Ascot is a Hybrid Tea rose from Rosen Tantau, introduced in 2007. The official description notes a compact bush, globular, full purple-violet flowers and the scent of tea rose. The breeder does not explain the origin of the name or the parentage in the current record, so we do not present the ‘Royal Ascot’ version as an established fact.
Repeat-flowering in waves.
70–100 cm tall.
Sun; a well-ventilated spot; in a favourable climate the variety can grow taller and may need shaping.
Moderate, tea-scented, with a note of old rose.
