Another great hit from the Altman Plants’ True Bloom series is the award-winning True Passion Hybrid Tea Rose. With its blazing, double, ruffled, fire-orange blooms backed by Kelly-green foliage, this highly disease resistant hybrid tea rose flowers from June until the first heavy frost of autumn. Also known as Rosa hybrida True Passion PP28, 928 (HD), 'Double 10', and 'LIM10', this shrub rose heats up borders, beds, and containers with its smoldering color and spicy fragrance. Its award-winning florets not only support the environment by attracting pollinators, but also make lovely bouquets that can be enjoyed inside a vase atop a kitchen counter as well as outside on a deck/patio table.
Growing to heights of 4 to 5 feet and spreads of 2 to 3 feet, True Passion Hybrid Tea Rose grows tall and upright. Highly resistant to diseases common to roses such as downy mildew, rust, powdery mildew, and that infamous devil, black spot, rose lovers can exhale a sigh of relief when choosing this ornamental. With a tolerance for heat and drought, this cultivar seems almost too good to be true. Filling the air with its faint peppered scent, this low-maintenance shrub should be in every rose aficionado’s collection.
True Passion Hybrid Tea Rose Care
Plant True Passion Hybrid Tea Rose in a hole somewhat larger than the root mass. Loosen the soil around the edges and at the bottom of the hole. This hybrid tea rose thrives when afforded 6 to 8 hours of sun, preferably in an easterly location. Plant it in loamy, moist, slightly acidic soil that drains well. Add compost to increase the soil’s fertility. This rose needs anywhere from one to two inches of water per week. Feed it one or two times per month with a formula low in nitrogen and high in phosphorus/potassium during the flowering period.
Prune True Passion in the late winter / early spring months. Remove any dead, diseased, damaged canes, and trim crossing stems to improve shape and air circulation. Cut the remaining stems by about a half to a third. Apply a mound of compost around the crown to overwinter.
True Passion Hybrid Tea Rose Spacing
Space True Passion Hybrid Tea Rose about 3 feet apart when planting in a group. Plant this ornamental in borders, beds, hedges, and containers. Add its prize-winning blooms and foliage to alstroemeria, bupleurum, Gerber daisies, and statice cuttings to make warm, inviting bouquets.

Plant Addicts Warranty - 1 Year (Extra Purchase Required)
We encourage all plant lovers to purchase the Plant Addicts Warranty, whether you're a new gardener or an expert. There are many variables outside of anyone's control that can cause a plant to die. Hungry animals, drought, poor soil conditions, over watering, diseases & pests are all good examples of what can cause plants to die. The Plant Addicts Warranty is a 1 year warranty protecting you from all of the unknowns and will replace your plant if something were to happen to it.
The warranty is purchased on a per plant basis and must be purchased at the same time as the plant(s). We will cover 100% of the price of the plant, but the warranty does not cover shipping costs. SImply let us know if your plant has died within 1 year of receiving it and we will get you a new one shipped out as soon as possible (depending on the time of the year and availability). We may ask for photos for documentation purposes, but we try to make the process as easy as possible.

Plant Shipping
Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.
Winter to Early Spring
We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.
Summer
If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.
Fall into Winter
We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!
Winter
Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!
Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
