Hybrid Tea
Just like the name implies, this baby really pumps out the perfume. The blooms are a novel color for a hybrid tea – a lovely shade of purple lavender that lightens toward the petal edges, yet holds strong until the end of the line. Presented one to a stem, the flowers are perfect for cutting so yo can add a splash of fragrance wherever you desire. Upright, bushy plants have glorious, green foliage with built-in disease resistance that shrugs off powdery mildew and rust with ease. She’ll give her best performance in hot dry climates and what a performance it is.
Height: 3.5 – 5.5′
Petals: 40-50
Flower Size: 3.5 – 4″
Strong Fragrance

Striking blooms cover this vigorous climber in generous clusters. Large, glossy foliage grows on the sturdy canes creating an upright structure to show off the novel cream striped, smoky orange blossoms.

Although this plant is registered as a climber and will perform as such in the South, it will grow as a medium-size shrub in the northern locations.
