Hybrid Tea Rose ‘Chris Evert’

‘Chris Evert’ Hybrid Tea Rose (Rosa ‘Chris Evert’). The ‘Chris Evert’ rose, an elegant and luminous hybrid tea, is distinguished by 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 longevity both in the garden and in a vase. Its light to moderate fragrance adds a pleasant touch without overpowering 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.

To plant the ‘Chris Evert’ hybrid tea rose, choose an appropriate exposure: sun. The recommended soil is: rich, deep, well-drained. Water at the base and allow air to circulate between the branches. Remove dead parts with a clean tool, then adapt pruning to the rose's group. Winter protection depends on its hardiness and the potential presence of a graft union. Water the root ball before planting it and check that water can drain after planting. During establishment, check the moisture by hand before watering again.

Allow a width of 1 m (3.3 ft) to plan the space for 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. Associate 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. Roots in pots are more exposed to cold than those planted in the ground.
