Hybrid Tea
Roses: Roses
 |
The Hybrid Tea are the largest class of
modern roses. The first hybrid tea was La
France, introduced in 1867, and since that
time many thousands of varieties have been
bred.
They are also the most popular type of
rose. They feature tall, upright plant habit
and large, high-centered flowers on long
cutting stems which are often fragrant.
Use hybrid tea roses as the stars of your
flower beds, special accents, and rose borders
along fences.
Hybrid tea roses come in the full range
of rose colors, and our selection is composed
of celebrated all-time favorites.

Pruning Hybrid Tea Roses
Prune hybrid tea roses in early spring when the
new growth just begins to show. Start by removing
old, winter damaged or diseased wood, cutting
it back to a healthy point. You will want to create
a somewhat cup shaped plant by removing center
stems, and branches pointing inwards. This will
admit more light and fresh air, and help to prevent
mildew and disease. Cut the remaining stems to
about 1/2 of their original length, leaving the
stronger stems longer than the younger, thin ones.
Hard pruning will result in fewer long stemmed
blooms than light pruning, but if it necessary
you can cut some of the older stems back to within
6 inches of the base.
