HYBRID TEA 

ROSES 

The name ‘hybrid tea’ came about because they originated 

from the old Tea Roses. 

The old Tea Roses had a scent of freshly picked tea. 

Although they produced very beautiful flowers they were not 

very hardy and were very prone to a range of diseases. 

Over the years and through very selective breeding the 

modern Hybrid Tea has improved tremendously and is now 

fully hardy and far better at fending off disease. 

Hybrid Teas are very much the most popular form of rose and 

come in a kaleidoscope of colours and fragrances.

La France 

The first Hybrid Tea LA FRANCE appeared in 1867.

Hybrid Tea Rose. 2006. 3ft-4ft. 

A stunning new rose for our Hybrid Tea section. 

As its name suggests, superb high centred white blooms with a hint of pale blush 

pink. 

The blooms are large and perfectly formed and withstand all weathers.

Dark semi-glossy foliage. 

An easy to grow variety with a good health record. 

For the best results, plant in full sun, dead head regularly, feed and water well and you will have a wonderful 

show from spring until the first frosts. 

Bred by Colin Pearce who is renowned for breeding good healthy roses and this stunner in no exception. 

Superb fragrance. 

Highly Recommended. 

ADRIANA (Frydesire)

A lovely healthy tough rose with masses of blooms throughout the summer and into 

autumn.

ALEC’S RED (Cored) 

Hybrid Tea Rose. 1970. 4ft 

Hybrid Tea Roses 

Most catalogues would describe the flowers on this rose as 'Turkey red' although 

the colour does fade a little with age. 

The large flowers and the fantastic scent have enabled this variety to stay 

popular for many years. 

It is a vigorous plant with dark green healthy foliage and repeats well 

It comes into flower earlier in the season than most other roses so has a 

good long flowering period.. 

Named after a well known Scottish rose grower who started breeding late in 

life, and this was his first big success and is now grown all over the world. 

An excellent garden rose but does not always do well in a container. 

We used to stock the climbing version but it did not prove popular as it had a limited flowering period. 

An award winning rose.

ALPINE SUNSET 

Hybrid Tea Rose. 1974. 2ft-3ft 


A beautiful Hybrid Tea where the large blooms are a lovely luminous combination 

of peaches, pinks, apricots, creams and yellows. 

The huge globular blooms are borne on firm stems on a neat compact plant. 

Healthy light green shiny foliage sets the blooms off to perfection. 

It is repeat flowering but there is often a short break between the summer flush 

and the next flush, because the bush takes a little time to recover after producing 

its large exhibition quality blooms in quantity. 

Quite a stunning rose plus the bonus of a great perfume. 

Good disease resistance. 

Quite hardy in a normal winter, but may need protection from frost in a severe winter.

APHRODITE (Tan00847) 


As very beautiful Hybrid Tea rose which certainly lives up to its name. 

Stunning blooms of pale pink and apricot blends in abundance. 

The blooms are weather resistant and hold their colour and form well, right through 

the summer, and look superb at any time during their flowering season. 

The tough leathery mid green foliage sets the blooms off to perfection, and the whole 

effect is one of great beauty. 

As an added bonus the bush has excellent health, good disease resistance and a lovely 

spicy fragrance. 

Not very tall for a Hybrid Tea so can be grown in a container as a specimen rose or looks great as a group in 

the garden. 

To cap it all it makes a great cut rose for indoors as the fragrant blooms last well in water.

plants that are taller than the average for a hybrid tea.

above average height.
