Hybrid tea rose 'Memorial Day'
FamilyRosaceae
The Rosa ‘Memorial Day’, a spectacular and intensely fragrant hybrid tea rose, is distinguished by its very large, double, orchid-pink flowers with slightly lavender nuances, which can reach a remarkable diameter when fully open. The thick, velvety petals form an elegantly turbinated flower that gives off a powerful, rich, and sweet fragrance, considered one of the most striking among modern roses. Its bushy, upright, and vigorous habit allows it to reach a beautiful height in sunny flowerbeds or as a solitary planting near living areas to fully enjoy its fragrance. Floriferous and reblooming, it produces several waves of generous blooms throughout the summer, offering long, strong stems ideal for cutting. Its dark green, dense, and healthy foliage highlights the softness of the color while showing good disease tolerance in rich, deep, and well-drained soil. The Rosa ‘Memorial Day’ brings elegance, volume, and exceptional fragrance to the garden while attracting pollinating insects.
