Overview

HYBRID TEA - TOUCH OF CLASS

Rated by the American Rose Society as the finest hybrid tea rose in the world.

  • Good cut rose
  • Suitable for zones 5 - 10
  • Very fragrant
 Her large luminous blossoms are the epitome of rose form—slowly spiraling open, yet stubbornly retaining the pin-point center. The indescribable blending of orange, pink and cream in the pointed consistent form. 

Best color in moderate temperatures. buds finish a warm coral. Her vigorous plant gives lots of long stems complemented by deep green leaves and mahogany new growth.
