Rosa 'Honor', an elegant and majestic hybrid tea rose, stands out with its large, double, pure white flowers with thick, satiny petals forming a perfectly turbinate cup. The long, refined buds open slowly into luminous flowers that maintain their purity throughout their bloom. Slightly fragrant, they are borne on long, sturdy stems ideal for cutting and classic arrangements. Its bushy, upright, and vigorous habit allows it to reach a beautiful stature in sunny flowerbeds or as a focal point in a pastel-colored bed when planted alone. Abundant and reblooming, it offers several waves of flowering throughout the summer. Its dark green, dense, and healthy foliage creates a striking contrast with the whiteness of the flowers while demonstrating good disease tolerance in rich, deep, and well-drained soil. Rosa 'Honor' brings distinction, luminosity, and timeless elegance to the garden while attracting pollinating insects.
