Hybrid Teas are the world's most popular type of rose by choice due to their color and flower form. With their long stems, it gives them the advantage, over others, as cut flowers. Most varieties, however, lack fragrance and can be difficult to grow in the home garden due to a lack of disease resistance and susceptibility to cold temperatures.

History

The birth of the world's first hybrid tea is generally accepted to have been La France in 1867. It was raised by Jean-Baptiste Guillot, a French nurseryman. He did it by hybridising an old Chinese garden tea rose with a European rose, hence 'hybrid tea'. Today, 'La France' survives and can still be found at nurseries specialising in old garden roses.

Propagation

This can be done by budding, a technique that involves grafting buds from a parent plant onto strongly growing rootstocks. One type of such rootstocks is the R. multiflora.

Vulnerability

Most hybrid teas are hardy plants and can withstand a relatively cold winter. Protection is required however, to prevent the temperature of the bud union falling below âˆ’12 ÂºC, beyond which it can be killed or damaged in excess cold and wind.

Naming

Some hybrid teas are named after royalty, presidents as well as entertainment celebrities. Some have become a legend - like the 'Peace' rose, a rose hybridised in France just prior to World War II. It was reportedly sent to the US on the last plane available before the German invasion. Safely propagated by the Conard Pyle Company in the US during the war, 'Peace' was introduced to the world in 1945. Called 'Gloria Dei' in Europe, it remains a favourite symbol of hope for the future. It celebrated its 50th anniversary in 1995.
