Know before you buy
This rose requires full sun to perform at its best. Aim for at least six to eight hours of direct sunlight daily to ensure vigorous growth and consistent blooming.
While it is compact for a hybrid tea, it reaches a mature height of 5.5 feet. If you choose to use a container, ensure it is large enough to accommodate the root system and provide excellent drainage.
This variety is noted for strong disease resistance, which helps it maintain its glossy, dark green foliage throughout the season with less intervention than more sensitive hybrid tea roses.
Bareroot grafted means the plant arrives dormant without soil around the roots. You will need to soak the roots in water for a few hours before planting to rehydrate them, then plant them in well-drained soil during the dormant season.
Yes, this is a vigorous grower that provides reliable, continuous seasonal color. You can expect recurring clusters of ivory and apricot blooms from the start of the season until the first frost.
The Apricots n' Cream Hybrid Tea Rose is hardy in zones 5 through 9. It is adaptable to a wide range of climates, provided it is planted in well-drained soil.
