Rosa x hybrida

What is the plant

Hybrid tea roses are the products of a cross between hybrid perpetual roses and old-fashioned tea roses. They are the most popular roses in the world and perhaps the most popular flowers.

Hybrid teas generally produce only one blossom at the end of each stem, rather than clusters of flowers, and they have an open rather than bushy habit. Virtually all hybrid tea roses are repeat bloomers throughout the growing season and offer some degree of fragrance. The flowers on hybrid tea roses may have over 60 petals and can be as large as five inches across. A signature of hybrid teas is the long, pointed buds that open by slowly unfurling. Plants will grow anywhere from three to six feet tall, depending on the variety and the growing conditions. Hybrid teas have been cultivated in almost every color except blue, with many extraordinary bi-colors to chose from.

How to Care for the Plant

Water
As with most garden plants, one to two inches of water per week is usually sufficient, but this varies by climate and growing conditions. Hot locations and sandy soil will need more frequent watering than cool, coastal regions. A simpler rule is to water when the top three inches of soil are dry. Water the soil, not the leaves, to prevent disease. Also, water deeply to encourage root growth.
Fertilizer
Hybrid tea roses, being repeat bloomers, are heavy feeders and benefit from regular applications of fertilizer. Start in early spring, either a month before new growth or when you remove winter protection and continue feeding weekly or every other week, depending on the fertilizer being used. Stop fertilizing about six weeks before your first expected frost date to prevent tender new growth on the plants from being damaged by a change in weather.
Sunlight
Hybrid teas do best in full sun but will tolerate light shade. However, full sun improves their blooms and general resistance to disease.

Soil
Hybrid tea roses like slightly acid soil (6.0 to 6.5 pH) that is rich in organic matter. Mulch the plants to cool the roots and conserve water. Add a three- to four-inch layer of mulch in the spring, when removing winter protection. In warmer climates, mulch when the leaf buds begin to swell.
Temperature
This plant can be grown in the areas with the lowest winter temperatures of −28.9°C (−20°F).
