Rosa - Hybrid Tea Rose - Mixed Colours

Bring stunning summer blooms in all colours of the rainbow into your garden with these roses. Hardy throughout the UK down to -20°C.

Big, bright blooms are the specialty of this group of hybrid rose cultivars. Ranging from red to lilac, pink to orange and almost everything in between, fill your garden with their beauty. Hybrid Tea Roses are great for growing as cut flowers, too, as each bloom grows on its own stem - and your rose bush can bloom into autumn, too, so you'll be able to bring blooms inside for months each year. Each rose has an upright, vase-like shape brimming with petals; enjoy by making sure they have some sun and plenty of nutrients.

Rosa x hybrida (hybrid rose)

Common Name
Hybrid Tea Rose

Origin

Pruning Tips
Prune in late winter as your rose is just starting to grow again (this may be mid-February in the south, but wait until March in northern and colder areas). A reasonably hard prune will help these grow more vigorously - see the RHS' page here for more detail.

Wildlife Value
These roses will attract pollinators, but aren't the best source of pollen due to how many petals they have.

Positioning
Plant in full sun; your rose will be fine in both sheltered and exposed positions.

Water
In dry weather, it'll benefit from a water. Make sure it doesn't sit soggy, either by getting too much water at once or being planted somewhere boggy.

Soil
Your Tea Rose won't be fussy about the type of soil as long as it drains well and is rich in humus.

Food
Keep soil fertile. A layer of mulch each year should be enough nutrients for your rose.

Pet-safe
Yes; this plant is not toxic, however do be aware that it has thorns which can be painful for curious fingers and paws.

Sprouts Top Tips
To maximise blooms, keep your rose well-fed. An extra feed in spring and in summer to supplement a yearly mulch will help. Specific rose fertilisers work best if you're specialising in roses, but are not totally necessary.
