It can be hard to pick the best thing about the Double Delight Hybrid Tea Rose because everything about this plant is amazing. Large blooms span 5 inches across and make a big statement. The flowers have cream-colored centers that gradually fade to red near the border. This rose bush is prolific, so you will enjoy several rounds of flowers from spring through fall. If that isn’t enough, the flowers also have a lovely, spicy scent.
The medium-green foliage has a matte-like finish and provides a nice contrast against the bicolor blooms. The greenery provides consistent color between bloom cycles. This rose will be at home in beds, borders, hedges, or containers. Trim the flowers to display in arrangements and enjoy the fragrance indoors. Butterflies will visit the blooms for an added benefit.
Double Delight Hybrid Tea Rose Care
The Double Delight Hybrid Tea Rose has rather typical care needs for a rose bush. Plant it in full sun in moist but well-drained soil. Depending on rainfall, this tea rose will need about an inch of water weekly. Feed this plant every few weeks in the spring and summer to keep the flowers coming. Use a fertilizer formulated for roses or a balanced plant food.
Prune this rose bush in late winter or early spring before new growth appears. Remove dead or damaged canes, as well as branches that cross. Cut back small branches to encourage more vigorous growth.
Double Delight Hybrid Tea Rose Spacing
The Double Delight Hybrid Tea Rose stands 3 to 4 feet tall and 2 to 3 feet wide. Space plants 3 feet apart when creating a hedge or mass planting for a uniform look while still allowing air to circulate around the foliage.
