hybrid tea

Classic garden rose

A hybrid tea is a class of rose bred for long stems and elegant, high-centered blooms—the classic florist's rose.

Hybrid teas typically produce one large flower per stem rather than clusters, making them ideal for cutting: She grew hybrid teas for arrangements.

They resulted from crossing tea roses with hybrid perpetuals in the late 19th century.
