Hybrid Tea Rose 'Apollo'

‘Apollo’ Hybrid Tea Rose (Rosa ‘Apollo’). The ‘Apollo’ rose, a luminous and structural hybrid tea variety, stands out for its large, double, light yellow to pale lemon-yellow flowers, whose fresh hue maintains its brightness even in strong sunlight. The thick, well-formed petals open from elegant buds to form a regular, well-centered flower with a delicate fragrance. Borne on long, sturdy stems, the flowers have good vase life, making this an interesting variety for cutting.

To plant the ‘Apollo’ hybrid tea rose, choose a suitable exposure: full sun. The recommended soil is rich, deep, and well-drained. Water at the base and allow air to circulate between the branches. Remove dead parts with a clean tool, then prune according to the rose group. Winter protection depends on its hardiness and the presence of a graft union. Water the root ball before planting and ensure that water can drain after planting. During recovery, check the soil moisture by hand before watering again.

Allow a width of 1 m (3.3 ft) to plan the placement of this plant in the garden. The indicated height of 1.2 m (4 ft) helps choose its position relative to neighboring plants. Keep access to the base for weeding, checking moisture, and removing damaged parts. Pair this variety with plants whose light and water needs are compatible. If you are considering a container, first check that its volume and drainage are suitable for root development. Potted roots are more exposed to cold than those planted in the ground.
