Hybrid Tea Roses<\/h2>\n

If you are going to say it with flowers, say it with a rose<\/a>. Imbued with centuries of symbolism, roses speak volumes when words aren\u2019t quite enough, and with Valentine\u2019s Day and Mothering Sunday on the horizon (and bare root season in full swing) now\u2019s the perfect time to think about giving and growing roses.<\/p>\n

Unlike a bouquet of flowers, a living rose bush<\/a> will give pleasure for years so selecting the right one is important. The choice of roses is practically endless, but we think you can\u2019t go wrong with a bare root Hybrid Tea rose<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The superstars of the rose world, Hybrid Teas were developed by French rose breeders in the 19th century. By crossing tender, repeating Tea roses with hardy Hybrid Perpetuals they created a breakthrough: a hardy, repeat-flowering rose with upright habit and large sculptural blooms in a rainbow of colours. Hugely popular with gardeners ever since, Hybrid Tea roses are also synonymous with celebration and commemoration, the best-known example being \u2018Peace<\/a>\u2019, the iconic rose that embodied the relief and joy experienced when the Second World War ended.<\/p>\n

Combining disease resistance with ever more colour options, modern Hybrid Teas are easy to grow and the loveliest roses to give and receive. Here are some of the best varieties for Valentine\u2019s Day and Mother\u2019s Day, as well as your own garden.<\/p>\n

Roses for Valentine\u2019s Day<\/strong>
A red rose like \u2018My Valentine<\/a>\u2019 is the ultimate romantic gesture; this opulent Hybrid Tea has crimson petals whose velvety intensity matches that of the most ardent lover. \u2018Ingrid Bergman<\/a>\u2019 is another irresistible red rose, with movie star good looks, robust health, and spicy fragrance. For clandestine lovers \u2018Deep Secret<\/a>\u2019 is a witty choice. This richly scented red rose is a sensational cut flower and it\u2019s relatively thornless, proving that love doesn\u2019t always have to hurt. If a red rose is too obvious, try \u2018Remember Me<\/a>\u2019, its luscious apricot-copper blooms make an unforgettable feature in any garden.<\/p>\n

Roses for Mother\u2019s Day<\/strong>
What better way to thank your mother this 19th March than with an award-winning rose? \u2018Mum in a Million<\/a>\u2019 deserves her accolades with glossy green foliage and glorious fragrant pink flowers that bloom all through summer and into autumn. \u2018Isn\u2019t She Lovely<\/a>\u2019 also makes a great choice for Mother\u2019s Day with sumptuous creamy-pink blooms that are long-lasting and fragrant. If pink isn\u2019t your Mum\u2019s thing, take a look at \u2018Simply the Best<\/a>\u2019. This heavenly scented rose won Rose of the Year in 2002 and it\u2019s still one of the orange roses you can buy.<\/p>\n

Roses for your Garden<\/strong>

Varieties such as \u2018La \u2018Rose de Molinard<\/a>\u2019, \u2018Whiter Shade of Pale<\/a>\u2019 and \u2018Elina<\/a>\u2019 look simply gorgeous in classic herbaceous schemes; in the cutting garden vibrant Hybrid Teas like \u2018Tequila Sunrise<\/a>\u2019, \u2018Fragrant Cloud<\/a>\u2019 and \u2018Just Joey<\/a>\u2019 will provide months of beautiful bouquets. For those growing flowers for a wedding, don\u2019t forget \u2018Polar Star<\/a>\u2019. This stunning pure white rose is a florists\u2019 favourite for bridal posies and buttonholes.<\/p>\n\n
