Hybrid tea rose 'Double Delight'
FamilyRosaceae
The ‘Double Delight’ rose, an iconic and globally awarded hybrid tea rose, is celebrated for its spectacular contrast and exceptional fragrance. Its large, double pure white cream flowers progressively edge with intense cherry red under the sun, creating an evolving bicolour effect unique to each bloom. The brighter the exposure, the more pronounced the red colour becomes. The thick, velvety petals form a perfectly turbinated flower carried on long, sturdy stems, ideal for cutting. Its powerful, spicy, and sweet fragrance is considered one of the most remarkable among hybrid teas. Its bushy, upright, and vigorous habit elegantly structures sunny flowerbeds. Free-flowering and remontant, it offers several waves of blooms throughout the summer. Its dark green foliage highlights the contrasting flowers in rich, well-drained soil. The ‘Double Delight’ rose brings fragrance, spectacle, and character to the garden.
