Rosa ht. 'New Zealand' PP8279 (pink)

This hybrid tea rose features a striking upright, bushy habit reaching a mature height of 4-6 feet. Recommended for USDA Zones 5-9, it thrives in full sun and well-drained, fertile soil. With a preference for moderate climates, an ideal range of 60-75°F ensures optimal bloom performance. Its large, fragrant, pink flowers carry a heady scent, making them a standout in any garden or floral arrangement. The glossy, dark green foliage provides a perfect backdrop, and while it doesn’t offer significant fall color, the blooms persist through much of the growing season. This variety is moderately deer-resistant and does not produce significant fruits (hips). Regular feeding and pruning will maintain its elegant form and vigorous flowering, making it an excellent choice for formal gardens, borders, or cut-flower displays.
