Hybrid tea rose 'Neptune'

The ‘Neptune’ Rose, a hybrid tea rose of rare elegance, stands out with its large, double, lavender to silvery-mauve flowers, whose slightly wavy petals subtly catch the light. Intensely fragrant, they release a rich, citrusy scent much appreciated near patios and relaxation areas. The elongated buds open slowly into well-formed, turbinate flowers, borne on long, sturdy stems ideal for cutting. Its bushy, upright, and vigorous habit allows it to reach a beautiful stature in sunny flowerbeds or as a focal point in isolated plantings. Floriferous and reblooming, it produces several waves of blooms throughout the summer. Its dense, healthy, dark green foliage highlights the singular hue of the flowers while offering good disease tolerance in rich, deep, well-drained soil. The ‘Neptune’ Rose brings distinction, fragrance, and originality to the garden.
