Hybrid tea rose 'New Zealand'

The Rosa 'New Zealand', a hybrid tea rose renowned for its floral elegance and powerful fragrance, is distinguished by its large, double, luminous light pink flowers with slightly coral reflections, borne on long, sturdy stems ideal for cutting. Very fragrant, they diffuse a rich, sweet scent particularly appreciated in close-proximity gardens and bouquets. Its bushy, upright, and vigorous habit allows it to reach a good size in sunny beds or as a standalone planting as a focal point. Prolific and remontant, it offers several waves of flowering during the summer with well-formed buds that slowly open into turbinate flowers. Its dense, healthy dark green foliage highlights the softness of the petals while showing good disease tolerance in rich, deep, well-drained soil. The Rosa 'New Zealand' brings romance, olfactory intensity, and presence to the garden.
