Hybrid Tea Rose ‘Moonstone’

‘Moonstone’ Hybrid Tea Rose (Rosa ‘Moonstone’). Rosa ‘Moonstone’, an elegantly refined hybrid tea rose, is prized for its large, double, creamy-white flowers delicately edged with blush pink, their hue subtly varying with cool nights and light intensity. The long, pointed buds slowly open into perfectly turbinate blooms, borne on long, sturdy stems ideal for cutting and sophisticated arrangements. Its light to moderate fragrance pleasantly accompanies the blooms without dominating the space. Its bushy, upright, and vigorous habit allows it to achieve a beautiful stature in sunny beds or as a specimen plant.

To plant the ‘Moonstone’ hybrid tea rose, choose an appropriate exposure: sun. The recommended soil is: rich, deep, well-drained. Water at the base and allow air to circulate between the branches. Remove dead parts with a clean tool, then prune according to the rose group. Winter protection depends on its hardiness and the potential presence of a graft union. Water the root ball before planting and ensure water can drain after planting. During establishment, check moisture levels by hand before watering again.

Allow a width of 1.2 m (4 ft) to plan this plant's space in the garden. The indicated height of 1.4 m (4.6 ft) helps choose its position relative to neighboring plants. Maintain access to the base for weeding, checking moisture, and removing damaged parts. Combine this variety with plants whose light and water needs are compatible. If considering a container, first verify that its volume and drainage are suitable for root development. Potted roots are more exposed to cold than those planted in the ground.
