Gospel invites you closer. Its deep crimson flowers are striking enough to stop you in your tracks, but it is the fragrance that makes the encounter unforgettable. Rich, warm and intensely spicy, the perfume seems to give the flower a second voice, one that is every bit as expressive as its colour.\n      \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n      \u003cp\u003e\n        Created by the renowned German rose house Rosen Tantau, Gospel belongs to the Nostalgic Hybrid Tea family, combining the elegance of a modern garden rose with the richly petalled, romantic appearance of older varieties. Its flowers are substantial, beautifully formed and full of character.\n      \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n      \u003cp\u003e\n        The blooms open in deep crimson-red shades, their petals gradually unfolding into generous cups. Measuring approximately 10–12 cm across, they have a sense of depth and richness that becomes particularly beautiful in the softer light of morning and evening.\n      \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n      \u003cp\u003e\n        Flowers are carried on medium-length stems, often accompanied by three to five side buds. This creates an abundant display as individual flowers open at different stages, with the deeper tones of the buds providing a beautiful contrast to the fully developed blooms.\n      \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n      \u003cp\u003e\n        Yet the defining quality of Gospel is undoubtedly its fragrance. Rosen Tantau describes it as extraordinarily intense, with a distinctive oriental, spicy character. Unlike roses whose scent can only be appreciated with your nose close to the petals, Gospel has a perfume that can make its presence known as you approach the plant.\n      \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n      \u003cp\u003e\n        Plant it near a terrace, along a frequently used path or beside a garden seat, and its fragrance becomes part of everyday life outdoors. Its richly coloured flowers also provide a beautiful contrast to pale stone, green foliage and neighbouring plants in soft blue, violet or cream.\n      \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n      \u003cp\u003e\n        The plant forms a well-branched, upright and bushy shrub, reaching approximately 70–100 cm in height. Its compact proportions make it suitable for rose beds, mixed borders, group planting and large containers, allowing gardeners to enjoy its impressive flowers without needing space for a large shrub.\n      \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n      \u003cp\u003e\n        Flowering repeats in successive flushes throughout the season. Each new wave brings another opportunity to enjoy the combination that makes Gospel so distinctive: deeply coloured, nostalgic flowers and a powerful perfume that seems almost disproportionate to the size of the plant.\n      \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n      \u003cp\u003e\n        The flowers are also excellent for cutting. A few stems arranged in a vase bring the richness of their crimson colouring indoors, together with the warm, spicy fragrance that gives this rose its personality.\n      \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n      \u003cp\u003e\n        Gospel's qualities have earned recognition at international rose competitions, including distinctions in Geneva, Tokyo, Nagaoka and Rome. Particularly notable are its fragrance awards, confirming that this is a rose whose perfume deserves as much attention as its appearance.\n      \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n      \u003cp\u003e\n        There is something wonderfully appropriate about its name. Gospel is a rose that makes a statement without needing to be extravagant in size. Its message is delivered through colour, fragrance and the repeated pleasure of new flowers: a reminder that the most memorable roses are not always those that occupy the most space, but those that leave the strongest impression.\n      \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n      \u003cspan class=\"fr-pdp-close\" onclick=\"this.closest('details').removeAttribute('open');\"\u003e\n        Show less →\n      \u003c\/span\u003e\n\n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n  \u003c\/details\u003e\n\n  \u003cdetails\u003e\n\n    \u003csummary\u003e\n      \u003cspan class=\"fr-pdp-summary-row\"\u003eCharacteristics →\u003c\/span\u003e\n    \u003c\/summary\u003e\n\n    \u003cdiv class=\"fr-pdp-content fr-pdp-specs\"\u003e\n\n      \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCharacteristics:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n      \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOfficial name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Gospel®\u003c\/p\u003e\n      \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e Nostalgic Hybrid Tea Rose\u003c\/p\u003e\n      \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBreeder:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rosen Tantau\u003c\/p\u003e\n      \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCountry of origin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Germany\u003c\/p\u003e\n      \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eColour:\u003c\/strong\u003e Deep crimson red\u003c\/p\u003e\n      \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFlower form:\u003c\/strong\u003e Large, very full, romantic cupped flowers\u003c\/p\u003e\n      \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFlower size:\u003c\/strong\u003e Approximately 10–12 cm\u003c\/p\u003e\n      \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFlowering habit:\u003c\/strong\u003e Flowers on medium-length stems, often accompanied by 3–5 side buds\u003c\/p\u003e\n      \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFragrance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Exceptionally strong\u003c\/p\u003e\n      \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFragrance character:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rich, warm, oriental and spicy\u003c\/p\u003e\n      \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFlowering:\u003c\/strong\u003e Repeat flowering throughout the growing season\u003c\/p\u003e\n      \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHeight at maturity:\u003c\/strong\u003e Approximately 70–100 cm\u003c\/p\u003e\n      \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGrowth habit:\u003c\/strong\u003e Compact, upright, bushy and well branched\u003c\/p\u003e\n      \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eExposure:\u003c\/strong\u003e Full sun\u003c\/p\u003e\n      \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlanting density:\u003c\/strong\u003e Approximately 4–5 plants per m²\u003c\/p\u003e\n      \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlanting distance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Approximately 45–50 cm for group planting\u003c\/p\u003e\n      \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUse:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rose beds, mixed borders, group planting, specimen planting, large containers and cut flowers\u003c\/p\u003e\n      \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCut flower suitability:\u003c\/strong\u003e Excellent for fragrant bouquets and floral arrangements\u003c\/p\u003e\n      \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAwards:\u003c\/strong\u003e Golden Rose, Geneva; Bronze Medal, Tokyo; Gold Medal for fragrance, Nagaoka; Fragrance Award, Rome\u003c\/p\u003e\n      \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDelivery format:\u003c\/strong\u003e Quality 1+ premium, second-year rose bush grafted onto a vigorous rootstock\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n      \u003cspan class=\"fr-pdp-close\" onclick=\"this.closest('details').removeAttribute('open');\"\u003e\n        Show less →\n      \u003c\/span\u003e\n\n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n  \u003c\/details\u003e\n\n  \u003cdetails\u003e\n\n    \u003csummary\u003e\n      \u003cspan class=\"fr-pdp-summary-row\"\u003eFrequently asked questions →\u003c\/span\u003e\n    \u003c\/summary\u003e\n\n    \u003cdiv class=\"fr-pdp-content\"\u003e\n\n      \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFrequently asked questions:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n      \u003cp\u003e\n        \u003cstrong\u003eWhat colour is Gospel?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n        Gospel produces richly coloured crimson-red flowers.
