Hybrid Teas: Colorado Springs' Exotic Bloomers
Due to their popularity, we offer a few Hybrid Tea roses. However, because they are bred from more tender roses, they are not as adaptable to our climate. Because their cells retain water when winter comes, they can experience damage both from cold and the fluctuations between freeze and thaw common to our climate. For best success, site Hybrid Tea roses in a Southern exposure, near your house. Additionally, you MUST mulch these roses (6"-8" deep) over winter.
During the growing season, maintain Hybrid Teas with proper pruning and consistent moisture. They are heavy feeders and will require fertilizer once per month from mid-May to mid-August. See our rose care guideline for additional information.
If you would like to have a rose in your garden but don't have time for the maintenance a Hyrbrid Tea requires, consider a shrub rose. They are very hardy and require less time and effort.
