Rosa ht. 'First Prize' (pink)

This elegant hybrid tea rose boasts a tall, upright habit with exceptionally large, classically shaped blooms in striking shades of pink, often with soft, darker edges. Hardy in zones 6–10, it thrives in moderate temperatures, preferring full sun and well-drained, rich soils. The plant reaches a mature height of 4–6 feet, making it a stunning focal point in any garden or landscape. Its dark green, glossy foliage provides a beautiful contrast to the flowers and displays moderate resistance to deer. While it does not offer notable fall color or fruit, its long-lasting, fragrant blooms are a showstopper in the garden or bouquets. Regular pruning and deadheading will enhance its performance and flower production.
