![]() straight stems that are general one to a stem. They are prized for their elegance and exhibition form. Grandifloras are cross between the HT and Floribunda roses. The flower size is midway between that of it's parents. The blooms are produced on long stems and are either singly or in small clusters. Both of these varieties grow anywhere from 3 to 6 feet in height. With these classifications some are fragrant while others are just planted for their beauty or exhibition form. They tend to have a longer period between bloom cycles and are not as profuse bloomers as other varieties. **Links to photos open in new window** (Be sure to close 2nd window) ~ Bella Roma ~ This HT was introduced in 2003 by Jackson & Perkins and was created by Keith Zary. It is a cross of "Sunbright" (HT) and "French Perfume" (HT). It has a yellow center with pink edges that deepen as they open. The beautiful blooms are very fragrant and hold up very well. The plant has deep green foliage on a plant that grows more up right with very thorny canes. Definately an eye catcher in the garden. (photo by: MsMary) ~ Bewitched ~ A hybrid tea (Queen Elizabeth x Tawny Gold) bred by Dr. Walter Lammerts and released in 1967. Fragrant pink blooms have 27 to 30 petals. ARS rating is 7.3 but I think that is a little low for this rose. Bewitched is very tall and upright for us. Foliage is good though a foliage nut would like it to be a little more thick. Bewitched comes through winter fine with 8 to 12 inches of mulch mounded at its feet. Turnaround time is average (6 weeks) for flushes of about 2 dozen blooms. (photo by: DiggerDave) ~ Bob Hope ~ A hybrid tea bred by Kordes and released in 1966 (Freidrich Schwarz x Kordes' Perfecta). Bob is classified as medium red with 35 to 40 petals. You can see he is usually hot pink with darker petal edges for us. (ARS rating is 5.1) He is a tall rascal and shoots to the sky no matter how I prune and trim. Glad I put him at the back of the bed. Fragrance is touted as strong but my sniffer says moderate at best. Planted here in 2000, Bob just keeps getting better each year. Repeat is average (about 6 weeks), bloomlife is decent (about a week) and he gives us 2 to 3 dozen blooms per flush. He isn't cane hardy in zone 4 but is a very vigorous grower in spring. Bob is never the first rose to bloom but isn't ever far behind the early ones. (photo by: DiggerDave) ~ Brandy ~ The plant of this vigorous, hybrid tea can easily attain a height of 5 to 6 feet tall. The rich apricot blooms are usually 4 to 5 inches across and more. The flowers have great show form and come abundantly on long, thick, straight stems with dark, shiny foliage. This great rose is a cross of 'First Prize' and 'Dr. A. J. Verbage' and has been winning numerous trophies, since it's introduction in 1981. (photo by: Sue O'Brien) ~ Cabana ~ A sassy sort of hybrid tea rose, with her wonderful striped mix of color. She was introduced and bred in the USA in 2000. Bred by Dr. Keith W. Zary and introduced by Jackson & Perkins. The parentage is unknown but is stated to be a hybrid tea seedling x hybrid tea seedling. The height is said to be 5 feet but so far here the height has not exceeded 3 feet. The new buds on this bush are very rich in color with a mix of yellow, white and deep pink. Then her blooms open to a more frilly white and deep pink mix. The fragrance is what I would call moderate and pleasing to the nose. This was not a rose that we really liked in its first year or two. However, this year (2004) her blooms have gotten much better and more plentiful. I have read that this rose is winter tender but we have not found that to be true here. No winter protection that is different from what the rest of the roses get is provided for Cabana and she does just fine. Give this one some time to get established and then enjoy her show. (photo by: BearRose54) ~ Calico ~ A hybrid tea bred in 1976 by Weeks. The blooms have around 38 petals and average 4 inches in diameter. The bush is struggling somewhat in my garden but still blooms well. I anticipate that it will settle down in another year or so (it is just 2 years old) and do very well. Unfortunately I would not call it very blackspot resistent, it doesn't get a lot of it but it does get it. It is not exceedingly cold tolerant and is only rated for zones 7 and above. (photo by: SunAndRoses) ~ Chicago Peace ~ Hybrid Tea, Large blooms. Pink blend beautiful blooms. This is one of those roses that gives you so many different looks, you wonder what rose it really is at times. Mild & pleasing fragrance, 45 to 60 petals, average diameter 6". Large, very double bloom form. The bloom cycle is very good here with several flushes a season. It is a sport of Peace. Chicago Peace was bred in the United States by Johnston in 1962. Introduced in the United States by Conrad-Pyle {Star Roses}. The rose bloom pictured is on a bush that is 5 ½ feet tall. Very hardy with lush green foliage. A delight in any rose bed I would think. (photo by: ColoradoKid) ~ Chrysler Imperial ~ A cross of Charlotte Armstrong x Mirandy, this rose was bred in 1952 by Dr. Walter Lammerts. It has a very strong fragrance. Chrysler Imperial seems pretty winter hardy, it survived the years I didn't protect the roses. A good bloomer (25 to 35) and good turnaround time, Chrysler Imperial blooms have 45 to 50 petals that will darken and 'blue' in hot weather. That doesn't affect that great fragrance. (photo by: DiggerDave) ~ Color Magic ~ Bred in the US by William A Warriner and introduced in 1978 by Jackson & Perkins this rose is a Hybrid Tea. Officially a 'pink blend' the flower changes color based on the amount of sunlight that it is exposed to. It is not at all unusual for this rose to have blooms reaching 6 inches in width. This is a large bush in Florida, easily reaching 6 feet in height. It is susceptible to blackspot but responds well to spraying. The rose opens the lighter colored inner petals that overlay the darker outer ones - until they are hit with the hot sun and then change color. This picture was taken during a mild Florida winter when the temperatures were in the 70s and the sunlight less intense. (photo by: SunAndRoses) ~ Crystalline ~ Listed as a Floribunda rose/Hybrid Tea rose on Help Me Find. She does seem to have blooms like each at times. Her elegance is very captivating in most any setting. The first time I saw this rose, I was several aisles away from her, at our favorite local greenhouse. Her stunning white blooms against her rich green foliage caught my eye immediately and would not let go. My mother’s rose bush has done better than mine. Mine died after the first winter but my mother’s rose bush continues to bloom to perfection over and over again. I will be trying this one again also. Crystalline has Ivory Tower, Angel Face and Deep Purple in her family tree but that is not without dispute. In her patent Bridal Pink is listed also along with an unknown Grandiflora. She is known as a florists rose and was bred in the United States by Jack E. Christensen in 1987. No matter the dispute this is truly a stunning white rose. (Listed here as HT as per Combined Rose List) (photo by: ColoradoStan) ~ Cynthia ~ This rose is also called Chanterelle or Wardrosa. It is deep pink Hybrid Tea bred in the United States in 1975 by William A. Warriner. The pollen plant was Bob Hope and the seed plant was a Samling seedling. I couldn't resist this rose when I found it - the 'perfect' name (LOL!) and just the right color. It is very fragrant but was a slow grower and was unfortunately left behind when I moved - as was almost all my roses. The flowers were usually huge but it seemed to have quite a bit of a problem with die back. Its definitely a rose that I would like to try again, more because of the bloom than the name. (photo by: SunAndRoses *aka: Cynthia*) ~ Dainty Bess ~ A Hybrid Tea that was introduced in 1925 by Archer and is still one of the best-known modern single roses. The flowers are borne in clusters as well as one to a stem that are a pure soft pink with maroon stamens & fragrant. The bloom repeat is excellent and continues from early spring until late fall. A very healthy & winter hardy plant that grows upright to 4-8 feet depending on the area its grown. Truely a beautiful rose that has a charm all its own. (photo by: MsMary) ~ Double Delight ~ Red and white, red blend, red edge blooms with white center. Strong wonderful fragrance. Average diameter 5", Double, high-centered bloom form. Repeats very well here. This bush is also very hardy and not prone to any diseases here either. Some light and easily controlled Powdery Mildew in damp times. Bred in United States by A.E. & A.W. Ellis in 1977. Bred in United States by Herbert C. Swim in 1977. Seed = Granada {Hybrid Tea, Lindquist, 1963}. Pollen = Garden Party {Hybrid Tea, Swim, 1959} (photo by: ColoradoKid) ~ Elmhurst ~ Elmhurst is a hybrid tea that was bred by Astor Perry in 1985. Its parentage is Granada x Helmut Schmidt. ARS rating is 7.2. Fragrance is mild to moderate. A bit winter tender, I always protect it in winter. Elmhurst gives us about 2 dozen blooms per flush and turnaround time is usually 5 to 6 weeks. (photo by: DiggerDave) ~ Fragrant Cloud ~ A hybrid tea bred in Germany by Tantau (seedling x Prima Ballerina) and released in 1963. It is an orange/red blend with 27 to 30 petals and strong damask fragrance. It is a Gamble Award winner for fragrance. Fragrant Cloud (all 3 of ours) doesn't get very tall, about 3 to 4 feet tall and is usually about 3 feet in diameter. This rose has been very winter hardy for us. (photo by: DiggerDave) ~ Gold Medal ~ This Grandflora was bred in the US in 1982 by Jack Christensen and introduced into commerce by Armstrong Nurseries. Height for this rose is listed at 2 1/2 feet to 6 feet. In warm climates such as Florida it regularly obtains 4 - 5 feet its first year and seems to keep on growing. A beautiful strong yellow flower, this rose will usually have a deep orange blush on the edges in strong sunlight, although the same bush may also display plain yellow roses or flowers with an almost deep pink edge to them. This rose has good disease resistence. It will get some blackspot if grown in an untreated garden in a hot and humid climate, but not to the point of seriously harming the plant. Flowers may be alone on the cane but more typically appear in clusters of 3 - 7 blooms. (photo by: SunAndRoses) ~ Granada ~ A hybrid tea (1963, Lindquist)(Tiffany x Cavalcade) that gets about 4 ft tall x 3 ft wide for us. The fragrance of this rose is intoxicating, one of the best I've ever smelled. Granada is a Gamble Award winner so others must think it is pretty fragrant too. It took 4 years to get established and now has large flushes with good repeat for us. Blooms open fast but look good for over a week. Granada is our champion powdery mildew magnet. If I don't spray fungicide during the spring and fall, it will get covered with pm, fast. All the extra work is forgotten when this beauty blooms. Granada has not had a problem getting through winter here either. (photo by: DiggerDave) ~ Helmut Schmidt ~ (KORbelma) A medium yellow hybrid tea with 30 to 40 petals. It was hybridized by Kordes (New Day x seedling) in 1979. Helmut is a compact bush for a hybrid tea and rarely gets over 3 feet tall and wide. Fragrance is mild. (photo by: DiggerDave) ~ Hotel California ~ A Hybrid Tea rose. A beautiful and very hardy yellow rose. It has a very mild and "rosey" fragrance. The blooms blow to fully open way too quickly for my liking but the bush is so pretty it is worth having around. Plus it does repeat very well. According to the information I have it was bred in France by Pierre Orard. I have never had any problems with BS or PM on this one at all. (photo by: ColoradoKid) ~ Ingrid Bergman ~ This is a hybrid tea released by Poulsen in 1984 (POUlman-Precious Platinum x seedling). I think its ARS rating of 7.1 should be much higher. Ingrid is one of our best roses. She is a hardy, healthy bloom factory and is always one of the first of our roses to bloom in spring. Ingrid is not supposed to be fragrant but has a nice moderate scent in our yard. She is one of our roses that I call bulletproof and I advise new rose growers that visit here to try first if they want a red. Powdery mildew can be a problem here and though Garden Party planted next to Ingrid will get pm, I've never seen any on her. Bloom life on IB is unbelievable. Blooms looking good for 3 weeks is not uncommon. Hot weather will shorten that to 2 weeks. Great rose! (photo by: DiggerDave) ~ Joyfulness ~ This hybrid tea is also called Frohsinn, Peccato di Giola and TANsinnroh. The parentage of this rose is unknown, it was bred in Germany in 1982 by Rosen-Tantau. The blooms are called apricot and apricot blend but the rose is actually many colors. Intense sunlight seems to bring even darker colors to the rose and it may be lighter in cooler climates. The bloom has 35 petals. This plant is NOT winter hardy and requires winter protection if temperatures drop below freezing. It grows to a height of around 4 to 5 ft and about 4 ft wide. The Growing Zones are listed as 6 - 9 but I grew it in St Petersburg with very few heat related problems. (photo by:SunAndRoses) ~ Just Joey ~ A beautiful hybrid tea rose that did very well here in its first year. The bush loaded up with blooms and the repeat was very good. With large double coppery pink blooms, the frilly edges of the firm petals add to the overall attraction of this fine rose. Bred in England in 1972 by Cant. The family firm of Cants of Colchester has been breeding roses for more than two centuries. Just Joey has been one of the most popular in Europe. So popular that Just Joey was voted The World's Favorite Rose in 1994.This rose did not have any disease problems at all for me in its first year. I anxiously await seeing this one bloom again in the Spring. (photo by: ColoradoStan/BEARROSE54) ~ Kardinal ~ A glorious hybrid tea rose with velvety red blooms. The flowers are slightly small for a typical show HT at only 4 to 5 inch; but they have perfect exhibition form; and this champion continues to win many trophies. Another plus is the incredibly rich fragrance of these long lasting flowers. The bush averages about 4 feet tall and makes loads on one-to-a-stem blooms. Kordes introduced this cross of 'Flamingo' and an unnamed variety in 1986 with the name 'Kolinga', but 'Kardinal' is currently the official name for this great, medium red rose. (photo by: Sue O'Brien) ~ Kordes Perfecta ~ (Photo #2) Kordes' Perfecta is a fragrant bloom factory. It was released in 1957 by Kordes (Golden Scepter x Karl Herbst) and has a ARS rating of 6.5 (way too low in my opinion). Extremely cold hardy, KP survived years of neglect here and no protection. This one is at least 20 years old. It has huge flushes and fast turnaround time. KP is also our best foliage rose. I would rate it around 9. (photo by: DiggerDave) ~ Lagerfeld ~ A beautiful mauve Grandiflora. The fragrance is a strong "rosey" fragrance. I don't know how else to describe it. Mine gained a good two feet in height over last years growth this year. It was about 5 feet tall at seasons end. The width of the overall bush was about 20 inches. I am hoping that it will bush out a bit more in 2003. Jack E. Christensen bred this rose in the United States in 1986. The blooms can get big and heavy enough that the stems have a hard time holding them upright. It has some "pollen relation" to Angel Face and Ivory Tower. The bush itself has a different shade of green from some of the other roses we have, which makes it a very attractive bush. (photo by: ColoradoKid) ~ Liebeszauber ~ (translation: Love's Magic) A wonderful red Hybrid Tea rose, even hardier than I had ever dreamed of. The blooms are beautiful and very hard to get a picture of that really expresses her true beauty. The fragrance is a special treat also, as I had read that she had no fragrance at all. This year (2004) is the most fragrant she has ever been. This rose loves to grow tall, so be sure to plant her where she has room to reach to the heavens. Liebeszauber is a Kordes rose, bred in Germany in 1990. I do not know her exact parentage but a rose named Pink Panther is one of the parents. Liebeszauber is listed as a Disease Resistant rose, I have found this to be very true so far here in my rose beds. (photo by: BearRose54) ~ Love ~ A grandiflora bred by William A Warriner in the US in 1980 and introduced into the US by Jackson & Perkins, Love is a red blend with a white reverse. The blooms have 30 – 35 petals with a high-centered bloom form. The red petals on this beautiful rose will sometimes fad to a red-pink in the heat of summer but usually retain their bright red color with the white reverse forming a striking contrast. While fairly disease resistant this rose has been known to fool some rosarians into thinking that it is ill or even dead after the winter season as its canes often turn a dark red-brown when fully mature. (photo by: SunAndRoses) * Special Note * This rose is very special because it was selected to be posted on the day of "Rememberence" 9/11/02. Included is a gobe that was made to commemorate this day. ~ Marilyn Monroe ~ A very nice rose with greenish tinges around the edges (inherited from parent St. Patrick) and some very nice apricot hues. It is on Fortuniana so it is going to be really big and I am pleased with these early blooms after putting it into the new HT bed. These pictures are from late April/early May after the Landscape plan was completed. It is a very good rose with good form and has been fairly disease resistant. (photo by: Willinator) ~ Memorial Day ~ A beautiful pink hybrid tea rose. She was bred in the United States in 2001 by Tom Carruth and introduced in the United States in 2004 by Weeks Wholesale Rose Grower, Inc.. Her parentage is Blueberry Hill & New Zealand. She is said to have a strong damask fragrance but I am not sure that is how I would define it. The “nose jury” is still out on that one! :o) The size of the blooms is said to be about five inches in diameter and the blooms I have seen on mine so far do hold to that size if not a bit bigger. Memorial Day looks fantastic planted next to Crystalline here for me. (photo by: Bearrose54) ~ Mirandy ~ A HT with deep red double blooms that hold their color well. It was introduced in 1945 by Lammerts and was a cross between "Night" & "Charlotte Armstrong". The bush is very healthy except for a slight bit of mildew and extremely winter hardy. The fragrance is a strong old rose scent and wonderful! Bush is upright and about 4 x 4 feet with excellent repeat. (photo by: MsMary) ~ Mr. Lincoln ~ Large dark red flowered, Hybrid Tea. Strong fragrance. Bred in the United States by Herbert C. Swim 1964. Bred in the United States by O.L. Weeks 1964. Introduced in the United States by Conrad-Pyle (Star Roses). This is an all-time favorite. Very hardy, growing to heights of 3 ft. to 7 ft.. Seed = Chrysler Imperial, Pollen = Charles Mallerin. (photo by: Colorado Kid) ~ Orange Passion ~ Hybrid Tea. AKA Coral Sea. Bred in United States (1999) by Dr. Keith W. Zary. Introduced in United States (1999) by Bear Creek Gardens, Inc. Orange & orange blend blooms. Mild fragrance. 30 petals. Average diameter 4½". Repeats. Stem length of 17¾" to 21¾". Has a vase life of 11 days. Seed Parent - Anne Morrow Lindbergh. Pollen Parent - Angelique (Floribunda). (photo by: Wendy) ~ Patsy Cline ~ Classified as a HT and was introduced in 1983 by Christensen of J&P. (Named for a fantastic western singer who died) This lovely mauve blend rose holds very well and has a strong fragrance. The bush is fairly healthy with mildew being its biggest problem and grows to about 4 feet high and about 3 feet wide. Its genes come from 2 very famous roses, Angel Face & Double Delight. The only nursery that carries this rose is RoseKing Gardens (Veldfires). (photo by: MsMary) ~ Peace (picture #1) ~ (picture #2) ~ An awesome hybrid tea that is famous for it's abundance of large, heavily petaled, fruit scented blooms that last for many days on the bush. The color is pale yellow with a subtle blush of peach to pink on the outer margins of the petals. The foliage is positively leathery and dark, shiny green. The rose is commercially available as a bush, which average less than 4 feet tall, or a climber that can easily cover 15 to 20 feet of fence. The bush variety was created by F. Meilland and introduced in 1945 to celebrate the end of a horrible war. It's parentage is complex mix of test roses (George Dickson X Souvernir de la Malmaison) X (Joanna Hill X Charles P. Kilham) with Margaret McGredy as the lone pollen parent. The climbing sport was discovered by Brady and introduced by C. P. in 1950. 'Peace' has won every significant rose award in the world, starting with the AARS in 1946 and the NRS Gold Medal in 1947. (photos by: (#1) Dee Bennett and submitted by Sue O'Brien (#2) DiggerDave) ~ Proud Land ~ A hybrid tea bred in the U.S. by Dr. Dennison Morey. It is a Chrysler Imperial descendent (Chrysler Imperial x seedling) and was introduced by J&P in 1969. Urn shaped buds open to very double blooms with 60 petals. Fragrance is strong and blooms have good life both on the bush and in a vase. Foliage is dark green and the bush is compact for a hybrid tea, about 4 feet tall by 3 feet wide. (photo by: DiggerDave) ~ Regatta ~ A hybrid tea thats blooms have pretty light pink petals with a lighter colored reverse. The fragrance is a fruity like fragrance but sort of like Double Delight only not as strong. It is said to be a strong fragrance but this first year rose for mom has a moderate fragrance. It was bred in France in 1994 by Meilland. Then introduced in the United State by Conard-Pyle (Star Roses). (photo by: ColoradoKid) ~ Rio Samba ~ The color changes this one goes through are very nice indeed. The fragrance is good too. :o) {Hybrid Tea rose, named after the Samba dancers at the Carnival in Rio. Bred in United States (1991) by William Warriner. Introduced in United States by Jackson & Perkins. Pollen = Sunbright.} (photo by: Colorado Kid) ~ St. Patrick ~ A great, exhibition HT with flawless form and a very unique range of colors. For some folks, it is a rich, golden yellow; but other growers get blooms of pastel yellow with soft green in the outermost petals. That's where this wonderful, show rose gets it's name. The vigorous and generous plant make loads of long stemmed beauties on bush that can attain a height of up to 5 feet tall. The hybridizer, (my old friend) Frank Strickland, created this great rose by crossing two champions, 'Brandy' and 'Gold Medal'. (photo by: Sue O'Brien) ~ Sterling Silver ~ A hybrid tea hybridized in 1957 by Gladys Fisher (Mrs. Gordon). SS is a mauve with 30 petals and strong (intoxicating) fragrance. The ARS rating of 4.2 is not an accurate rating of this killer. My personal opinion is that SS should be around 8.0. (photo by: DiggerDave) ~ Sultry ~ Apricot & apricot blend blooms. Sweet mild fragrance that is a bit fruity. 30 to 35 petals. Average diameter 6". Large bloom form. The blooming cycle is much like Veteran's Honor here. Bred in United States in 1998 by Dr. Keith W Zary. Introduced in the United States in 2000 by Bear Creek Gardens, Inc. Seed = Seedling-Sämling x JACtop. Pollen = Seedling-Sämling x TANsenfrie. (photo by: ColoradoKid) ~ Talisman ~ Talisman is a wonderful old Hybrid Tea rose that was here when we moved in. It was nearly dead from lack of care. For a while Talisman appeared to be a stingy bloomer giving very few blooms. Some of the buds were lost due to an insect or worm eating down into the center of the bud. This made each bloom even more special. In 2004 I had more blooms from this rose than in any other year thus far! I hope to see at least the same production in 2005. Talisman is listed as a florists rose, hybrid tea, Pernetiana and was bred in the United States in 1929 by Montgomery Co.. The parentage at helpmefind.com is listed as Ophelia x Souvenir de Claudius Pernet. The foliage is a medium to light green which helps set off the wonderful pink and hint of yellow blooms. The fragrance is strong but not overpowering. This rose has turned out to be a gem in the rough for me. ~ Tournament of Rose ~ (JACient - Impatient x seedling) A grandiflora bred by William A. Warriner in 1988 and released by J&P. ToR isn't fragrant but it is a bloom machine with good bloomlife. It has only been through one winter here but seems pretty cold hardy. Foliage was thick and healthy the second season and turnaround time was very fast, about 4 to 5 weeks. Excellent rose in spite of the name and lack of fragrance. From Helpmefind.com: "In September 1998, the Montreal Botanical Garden (Le Jardin Botanique de Montreal) carried out a survey of its roses' resistance to black spot, powdery mildew and rust. This is one of the outstanding varieties which showed a 0% to 5% infection rate. The data was taken on well-established roses." (photo by: DiggerDave) ~ Tropicana ~ Hybrid Tea, Orange-red & orange-red blend blooms sometimes more coral colored. Fruity, pleasing fragrance, 30 to 35 petals. double, large bloom form. Repeats very well. Bred in Germany in 1960 by Rosen/Tantau. Introduced in United States in 1962 by Jackson & Perkins. (photo by: Colorado Kid) ~ Veteran's Honor ~ Photo #2 This HT is VERY hardy here in Colorado and is a real performer. It repeats very quickly for me and never seems to be without a bloom once it gets going in the Spring. The fragrance is a mild one that is just what it should be. VH lasts longer on the bush and in the vase than any other rose I have. I can't say enough good about this one. (note: introduced in 1997 as "Five Rose" & reintroduced in 2000 as "Veteran's Honor") (photos by: Colorado Kid and Willinator) ~ Weight Watchers Success ~ (aka: Success Story) This is a rose that I like in spite of the name but it didn't do all that well in my garden. Its a Hybrid Tea bred in 1999 in the US by Dr Keith Zary. It was introduced by Bear Creek Gardens. Its listed as growing in zones 7 and higher but I'm not sure how well it really does as a hot weather rose. It was small and a slow grower in my garden but had beautiful blooms. I keep thinking that I'd like to try it again but it did seem extremely suseptible to black spot. (photo by: SunAndRoses) ~ White Lightnin ~ This is a Grandiflora and one of my favorite white roses. It repeats very quickly and loads itself up with beautiful white clusters of blooms. The scent is lemony and a wonderful treat for the nose. It really sets off the other roses around it in the rose bed. Very hardy and no problems with disease here at all. Seed = Angel Face, Pollen = Misty. White Lightnin' was bred in the United States by Jack E. Christensen in 1980. Then introduced in the United States by Armstrong Roses. (photo by: ColoradoKid) ~ White Success ~ White Success is one of the preferred (along with White Christmas) show form hybrid teas in Florida. It is heat tolerant, does not burn easily and doesn't blow fast. This rose was bred in 1985 by Robert Jelly. It has no fragrance but does have a beautiful bloom. (photo by: SunAndRoses)
