Hybrid Tea Rose 'Elizabeth Taylor'

‘Elizabeth Taylor’ Hybrid Tea Rose (Rosa ‘Elizabeth Taylor’). The ‘Elizabeth Taylor’ hybrid tea rose, an award-winning and highly fragrant rose, is distinguished by its large, vibrant deep pink double blooms with thick, perfectly turbinated petals. Its powerful, rich, and citrusy fragrance is one of its main assets, making it an excellent choice for close-to-home gardens and fragrant bouquets. The flowers exhibit excellent longevity and good rain resistance compared to many classic hybrid teas. Its bushy, upright, and vigorous habit forms a dense and well-structured shrub, ideal for sunny borders or as a focal plant.

To plant the ‘Elizabeth Taylor’ hybrid tea rose, choose a suitable exposure: sun. The recommended soil is: rich, deep, draining. 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 possible presence of a graft union. Water the root ball before planting and ensure that water can drain after planting. During recovery, check the moisture by hand before watering again.

The indicated height of 1.2 m (4 ft) helps choose its position relative to neighboring plants. Maintain 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. Allow a width of 1 m (3.3 ft) to organize this plant's space in the garden.
