Hybrid Tea Rose 'Olympiad'

‘Olympiad’ Hybrid Tea Rose (Rosa ‘Olympiad’). The ‘Olympiad’ rose, an award-winning and intensely colorful hybrid tea, is recognized for its large, vibrant scarlet double blooms, whose hue remains vivid even in summer sun. The thick, well-formed petals open from elegant buds, releasing a light to moderate fragrance that is delightful in the garden or in a bouquet. Its bushy, upright, and vigorous habit allows it to reach an impressive stature in sunny flower beds or as a specimen plant, where it acts as a focal point with its bold and luminous color.

To plant the ‘Olympiad’ hybrid tea rose, choose a suitable exposure: full sun. The recommended soil is rich, deep, and 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's group. Winter protection depends on its hardiness and the potential presence of a graft union. Water the root ball before planting it in the ground and ensure water can drain after planting. During establishment, check the moisture by hand before watering again.

Allow a width of 1.2 m (4 ft) to accommodate this plant in the garden. The indicated height of 1.5 m (5 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 that have compatible light and water needs. If you are considering a container, first check that its volume and drainage are suitable for root development. Roots in pots are more exposed to cold than those planted in the ground.
