Ambassador Rose
Hybrid Tea Roses
The Ambassador Rose is a striking two-toned, large-flowered Hybrid tea rose. It has creamy yellow outside petals, with a deep apricot color on the inside. Large conical buds, open to reveal moderately full, beautiful cupped blooms. As the flower ages, the reddish/apricot color deepens.
The Ambassador rose bears orange/apricot colored flowers that sometimes turn salmon pink at the edges. It bears flowers continually from Summer through Fall. Flowers are great for the vase, as well as for exhibition.

This is not the best bedding rose, but this pink tea rose, is wonderful for a cutting garden. If you are growing roses for cutting, these are a good choice. The color of these Hybrid Tea roses is very unique, with a blend of apricot, yellow, salmon, and even pink tones. They look beautiful in bouquets. It is a pink rose, tea form, single borne flowers, that have long cutting stems, and a slight sweet fragrance.
This rose will mix well with other flowers or roses in many shades,
including, but not limited to: pink, coral, yellow, orange, and salmon. Silver, or blue colored
plants look especially nice as planting companions., as the colors compliment each other well.
Plant several bushes of Ambassador to have a constant supply to cut. (You'll soon be giving away bouquets to your friends!)
Do you know how to make your cut roses last longer? Cutting roses explains it all.
If you like exhibiting your roses, these would be a good choice also.
They can sometimes have trouble with Mildew, and Black Spot in the Fall. Another issue is that the flowers spoil easily by rain, so this rose will do best, and is best suited for a hot dry climate.
