Memorial Day® Hybrid Tea Rose Tree
What better way to celebrate, honor and remember our nation's heroes than with a large planting of this uniquely striking rose. Memorial Day will stir patriotic feelings in the hearts of garden visitors with its enormous, perfectly formed flowers in an uncommonly pretty shade of orchid pink. Plus, this hybrid tea emits a very strong, old-fashioned rose perfume that harkens back to days of old, hinting at long-ago memories of wandering through Grandma's cottage garden. Outstanding for cut-flower bouquets—just one rose will fill an entire room with fragrance. Plant in well-drained soil for best results. Rosa 'WEKblunez' PP16572
What Is a Tree Rose?
Unlike traditional shrub roses that grow from the base up, tree roses—also known as grafted standard roses—are specially cultivated by grafting a rose variety onto a sturdy, 2–3-foot tall trunk of rose rootstock. This horticultural technique allows favorite floribunda, grandiflora, hybrid tea, or even climbing rose varieties to take on an elegant tree-like form. The result is a dramatic garden feature: a vertical accent that elevates lush, colorful blooms to near eye level. Tree roses offer a refined structure and bring added dimension to flower beds, borders, and containers alike.
