hybrid tea rose

Classic florist flower

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

Hybrid teas produce one large flower per stem rather than clusters, making them ideal for cutting and display: She arranged a dozen hybrid tea roses in a crystal vase.

They require more care than hardier rose varieties but remain the most popular class for formal gardens.
