Botanical profile

Hybrid tea rose 'Chris Evert'

The Rosa ‘Chris Evert’, an elegant and luminous hybrid tea rose, stands out with its large, double, warm apricot-yellow flowers delicately shaded with peach-pink on the outer petals. The elongated buds open into perfectly turbinate flowers with thick, satiny petals, offering excellent hold both in the garden and in a vase. Its light to moderate fragrance adds a pleasant touch without dominating the space. Its bushy, upright, and vigorous habit forms a dense and well-structured shrub, ideal for sunny borders or as a focal point in a bed with warm and pastel hues. Floriferous and reblooming, it produces several waves of sustained blooming throughout the summer. Its dark green, glossy, and resistant foliage shows good disease tolerance in rich, deep, and well-drained soil. The Rosa ‘Chris Evert’ brings softness, warmth, and elegance to the garden while attracting pollinating insects.
