Hybrid Tea Rose 'Diana, Princess of Wales'

My parents planted this rose in the NJ shore, and loved it: very productive with flowers, and easy to care for. But I noticed when tryin...Read Moreg to replicate it for my own garden that my parents' rose had converted to a golden-yellow flower. Still with the beautiful fluted shape, and the tall upright long stemmed bush. The rose (with golden flowers) gave them much joy. So now I am trying to figure out the parent-plants, to duplicate that in their memory.

I am really surprised to find this rose to be a Zone 7 rose. I am not positive, but I think I purchased mine circa 2003-05. I live in Lon...Read Moregmont, Colorado. (Zone 5 with some Zone 4 situations) This is my favorite rose of all that I have. While I do have her on the south side of my home, I do much less than I should to protect it . . . and it thrives!

This year, we had a snow storm followed by 8*F freeze on May 2. I thought if there was a chance to lose this rose, this would have been the time. The south side snow melted before any protection could be provided. However, this rose is ahead of the pack and will mostly likely bloom first this year of my south 5 roses.

I purchased 2 of these plants for myself and my mother. This was back in the 90's when they were first available and shipped from England...Read More. The were absolutely breath taking. Very delicate and elegant. When mother and I both sold our homes we chose, unfortunately, to leave them behind for fear they wouldn't make the move. We live in Florida and it was required at that time that a rep from the State come out and check them periodically. I'm now looking to purchase 2 more for us again :)

Gorgeous, gorgeous!! The first year (2009) I had it, it really didn't do much but this year it has exploded with growth and blooms. The...Read More blooms are beautiful. At one point, I had about 30 blooms on this plant. You won't be sorry you bought this plant, that's for sure.
