Description
The hybrid tea rose is the classic cut rose of the garden, originating at the end of the 19th century by crossing fragrant tea roses, whose ancestors come from China, with European remontant or hybrid tea roses, and since then it has been called the "queen of roses." It is recognized by its slender, elegantly shaped buds on long, usually single-stemmed stems that open into highly filled blooms. In the garden it is best planted in groups of three to five plants, combined with ornamental grasses or lavender; classic varieties such as the fragrant "Mister Lincoln" or the cream‑yellow "Gloria Dei" are especially popular. As a cut rose for vases and beds it is unrivaled.
Care instructions
Plant the hybrid tea rose in a sunny, airy spot with deep, humus‑rich soil; it does not tolerate waterlogging. In spring cut the shoots back hard and leave only a few buds per shoot; during the season regularly remove faded flowers down to the next fully developed leaf so that it continues to bloom. To protect the graft union in late autumn pile up about 15 cm of soil or compost and, for young plants, place pine needles on top. Do not plant hybrid tea roses where roses have previously grown, otherwise soil fatigue will slow growth.
