Rosa ‘Love at First Sight’, a hybrid tea rose with romantic and luminous charm, captivates with its large, double flowers in warm coral pink tones delicately nuanced with apricot at the heart. The thick, satiny petals open from elegant buds to form a well-formed, slightly fragrant flower, carried on long, sturdy stems ideal for cutting. Its bushy, upright, and vigorous habit allows it to harmoniously structure sunny flowerbeds or add a warm touch to a bed with pastel and orange hues. Free-flowering and repeat-flowering, it offers several generous flushes of blooms throughout the summer. Its dark green, dense, and healthy foliage highlights the luminosity of the flowers while showing good disease tolerance in rich, deep, and well-drained soil. Rosa ‘Love at First Sight’ brings softness, brilliance, and elegance to the garden while attracting pollinating insects.
