Rosen Tantau was founded in 1906 by Matthias Tantau in Uetersen. From the beginning the focus was on the breeding of garden roses, tree roses and rootstocks for grafting.
In the first years and decades Matthias Tantau made great strides in the flowering and health of roses for the garden with his new breeds and made a considerable contribution to the spread of garden roses with his popular varieties.
If we look at some Tantau roses, many will know most of the varieties. Some of the most famous rose varieties for the garden have been bred by Rosen Tantau.
Starting with the Beetroses Duftwolke, the Bernstein Rose, the Aspirin-Rose or Sirius to modern Rambler Roses like the Perennial Blue, which also received the ADR Rose Predicate, roses from Tantau are represented in all rose categories.
Of course, the scented roses Erotika and Augusta Luise must also be mentioned, which delight every nose with their wonderful scent. And who does not know the Hybrid Teas Nostalgie in white red or Barkarole in a black red?
Rosen Tantau has of course also represented top varieties in all segments with the shrub rose Gartenträume, the dwarf rose Clementine and the ground cover rose Bienenweide Rosa, both of which are available in several colour variations, or the classic red climbing rose Santana.
