Traviata® Bare Root Rose Bush

Traviata® is a head-turning Hybrid Tea from Meilland (France), introduced in the U.S. by Star® Roses & Plants in 1997. This rose dazzles with deep red, fully double quartered blooms—each floret reminiscent of old-world charm yet blooming continuously from summer into late autumn. With its lush dark foliage and reliable disease resistance, Traviata® is as timeless as its operatic namesake.
