Hybrid tea rose 'First Prize'
FamilyRosaceae
The Rosa ‘First Prize’, a remarkably elegant hybrid tea rose, captivates with its large, luminous light pink double flowers delicately edged with a deeper pink, creating a subtle and refined contrast. The long, tapered buds open into perfectly turbinate flowers with thick, satiny petals, exuding a moderate fragrance that is pleasant both in the garden and in a bouquet. Its bushy, upright, and vigorous habit allows it to reach an impressive stature in sunny borders or as a solitary planting, serving as a focal point in a romantic flower bed. Abundant and repeat-flowering, it offers several generous flushes of blooms throughout the summer, producing long, strong stems ideal for cutting. Its dense, healthy dark green foliage highlights the softness of the color while showing good disease tolerance in rich, deep, and well-drained soil. The Rosa ‘First Prize’ brings finesse, luminosity, and distinction to the garden while attracting pollinating insects.
