Medallion Rose

Apricot Hybrid Tea Roses

The Medallion Rose has the softest shade of clear apricot. This Hybrid Tea rose has huge flowers that are double and full.

Long pointed buds unfurl to become the most beautiful, sweet scented Hybrid Tea flowers. This is an excellent rose for cutting. It makes a most beautiful cut flower, with a long vase life. (Buds open slowly, so cut the flowers before fully opened, to extend the vase life even more.) Pair your bouquet with some Baby's Breath, and you have a delicate, sweet bouquet!
