HYBRID TEA

ROSES The name ‘hybrid tea’ came about because they originated

from the old Tea Roses.

The old Tea Roses had a scent of freshly picked tea.

Although they produced very beautiful flowers they were not

very hardy and were very prone to a range of diseases.

Over the years and through very selective breeding the

modern Hybrid Tea has improved tremendously and is now

fully hardy and far better at fending off disease.

Hybrid Teas are very much the most popular form of rose and

come in a kaleidoscope of colours and fragrances.

The first Hybrid Tea LA FRANCE appeared in 1867.

A WHITER SHADE OF PALE (Peafanfare)

Hybrid Tea Rose. 2006. 3ft-4ft.

A stunning new rose for our Hybrid Tea section.

As its name suggests, superb high centred white blooms with a hint of pale blush

pink.

The blooms are large and perfectly formed and withstand all weathers.

Repeats well and the blooms come in flushes throughout the season.

Dark semi-glossy foliage.

An easy to grow variety with a good health record.

For the best results, plant in full sun, dead head regularly, feed and water well and you will have a wonderful

show from spring until the first frosts.

Bred by Colin Pearce who is renowned for breeding good healthy roses and this stunner in no exception.

Superb fragrance.

Highly Recommended.

ADRIANA (Frydesire) Hybrid Tea Rose. 1999. 2ft-3ft.

Gorgeous shapely blooms of delicate pale cream, deepening to creamy caramel.

A lovely healthy tough rose with masses of blooms throughout the summer and into

autumn.

keep the bush tidy.

A good bedding rose as the blooms last quite a while and always seems to have a

good show.

A very beautiful rose with a lovely spicy fragrance.

ALEC’S RED (Cored) Hybrid Tea Rose. 1970. 4ft

Most catalogues would describe the flowers on this rose as 'Turkey red' al-

though the colour does fade a little with age.

The large flowers and the fantastic scent have enabled this variety to stay

popular for many years.

It is a vigorous plant with dark green healthy foliage and repeats well

It comes into flower earlier in the season than most other roses so has a

good long flowering period..

Named after a well known Scottish rose grower who started breeding late in

life, and this was his first big success and is now grown all over the world.

An excellent garden rose but does not always do well in a container.

We used to stock the climbing version but it did not prove popular as it had a limited flowering pe-

riod.

An award winning rose.

ALPINE SUNSET Hybrid Tea Rose. 1974. 2ft-3ft

A beautiful Hybrid Tea where the large blooms are a lovely luminous combination

of peaches, pinks, apricots, creams and yellows.

The huge globular blooms are borne on firm stems on a neat compact plant.

Healthy light green shiny foliage sets the blooms off to perfection.

It is repeat flowering but there is often a short break between the summer flush

and the next flush, because the bush takes a little time to recover after producing

its large exhibition quality blooms in quantity.

Quite a stunning rose plus the bonus of a great perfume.

Good disease resistance.

Quite hardy in a normal winter, but may need protection from frost in a severe winter.

APHRODITE (Tan00847) Hybrid Tea Rose. 2006. 2ft-3ft

As very beautiful Hybrid Tea rose which certainly lives up to its name.

Stunning blooms of pale pink and apricot blends in abundance.

effect is one of great beauty.

the garden.

To cap it all it makes a great cut rose for indoors as the fragrant blooms last well in water.

neighbours; towards the back of a border is a suitable place, or it

could be treated as a short climber and grown on a support.

above average height.

The leaves are large, crimson when young, then maturing to bronze green, and plentiful.

A very healthy rose with a pleasant perfume.

during his infancy.
