Hybrid Tea Rose 'Touch of Class'

A vigorous, healthy plant that is a joy to grow. I picked it up very late in the planting season from Home Depot. All the remaining ros...Read Morees of other varieties looked sad but it was putting on new growth and buds (it was the only Touch of Class in the lot). I decided that any rose that vigorous deserved a chance and I have been happily rewarded ever since. It is the first rose to tell me when I need to deep water my rose garden, because its buds droop, so I use it as my indicator plant. It lives up to its name with blossoms that are a unique shade of pink with a form that is pleasing to the eye. I live in South Texas, on the same latitude as Orlando, Florida, so intense heat and sunlight are givens. I planted it in partial shade where it receives approximately six hours of afternoon sunlight. It produces flushes all summer long and exhibits above average resistance to black spot. Highly recommended.
