Hybrid tea rose 'Olympiad'
FamilyRosaceae
The Rosa 'Olympiad', an award-winning, intensely colored hybrid tea rose, is known for its large, vibrant scarlet double flowers whose hue remains vivid even under the summer sun. The thick, well-formed petals unfurl from elegant buds, releasing a light to moderate fragrance that is delightful both in the garden and in bouquets. Its bushy, upright, and vigorous habit allows it to reach a beautiful stature in sunny beds or as a standalone plant, where it acts as a focal point thanks to its bold and luminous color. Floriferous and reblooming, it offers several waves of blooms throughout the summer. Its dense, glossy dark green foliage creates a striking contrast with the flowers while exhibiting good disease resistance in rich, deep, well-drained soil. The Rosa 'Olympiad' brings energy and elegance to the garden while attracting pollinating insects.
