Hybrid tea rose 'John F. Kennedy'
FamilyRosaceae
Rosa 'John F. Kennedy', a classic and luminous hybrid tea rose, is admired for its large, pure white to ivory double flowers, whose purity highlights the elegantly turbinate shape of the petals. The elongated buds open slowly into refined, lightly fragrant blooms, borne on long, sturdy stems ideal for cutting and creating simple, elegant arrangements. Its bushy, upright, and vigorous habit allows it to harmoniously structure sunny flower beds or serve as a focal point in a pastel-toned border. Abundant and repeat-flowering, it offers several waves of blooms 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 'John F. Kennedy' brings purity, distinction, and luminosity to the garden while attracting pollinating insects.
