Frequently Asked Questions

It's bred primarily for large, high-centered blooms rather than disease resistance, so it requires regular pruning, deadheading, and disease management to perform well — unlike hardier shrub or rugosa types.
Why do florists prefer Hybrid Tea Roses for arrangements?
Their large, high-centered blooms in an extensive range of colors, often with fragrance, make them the classic choice for cut-flower arrangements and show gardens.
