How Do You Plant Hybrid Tea Roses In Central Florida?
Hybrid tea roses were first introduced in 1867 by French nurseryman Jean-Baptiste Guillot. Propagated by grafting buds from one type of rose onto the fast-growing rootstock of another, hybrid tea roses are hardier than many other rose varieties. According to the Central Florida Rose Society, hybrid tea rose varieties best suited to grow in central Florida include Double Delight, Mr. Lincoln, Moonstone, Gemini and St. Patrick. With a little care and attention, hybrid tea roses can make a lovely addition to your central Florida home landscape. Select a planting site for your hybrid tea roses. For best results, choose a site on the east or southeast side of your home. The location you select should provide six to eight hours of direct sunlight each day, but offer light shade in the late afternoon to protect them from the hot central Florida sun. Look for a planting site that also offers nutrient-rich, well-draining soil. Clear the planting site of any existing vegetation or debris. Grass
