HYBRID TEA ROSES

The name 'hybrid tea' came about because they originated from the old Tea roses. These Tea roses had a scent of freshly picked tea and produced flowers of beautiful form. However, they were not fully hardy and prone to diseases. After many years of breeding however, Hybrid Teas are now fully hardy and much better at resisting disease.

For the amateur or those with a small garden, these are the ideal choice. They produce a large number of flowers for the space occupied and are the easiest to grow. There are new varieties produced each year, and you are really spoilt for choice. Any of the varieties featured on our pages would be an excellent choice.
