Diana, Princess of Wales
Hybrid Tea


This rose is a classic hybrid tea with outstanding character and flower form. It has ivory petals overlaid with a clear pink blush which would reflect the late Princess Diana's warmth and radiance. The large buds open to exhibition form with elegant shape, which are very doubled and high centered. Diana's bloom size is 4 1/2 to 5 inches and grows to the height of 5 1/2 feet upright. The petal count is 26-40. The open blooms are generously perfumed with a moderate sweet fragrance. Hybridized by Jackson and Perkins and introduced in 1999, Diana's parentage is Anne Morrow Lindbergh X Sheer Elegance. Its foliage is semi-glossy and medium dark green in color. The ARS rating is 7.6.

Diana will stand tall in your garden producing a lavish display and light filled blossoms throughout the summer to provide you with excellent cut flowers for your enjoyment and/or exhibition.
