Color Magic Hybrid Tea Rose

All-America Rose Selections (AARS)

Part of the Jackson & Perkins Vault Collection, Color Magic is a remarkable hybrid tea rose introduced in 1978 by renowned breeder William Warriner. This rose stands out as a timeless favorite among gardeners.

Color Magic earns its reputation as one of the finest hybrid tea roses, captivating with its phototropic blooms that change color in response to sunlight. Throughout the growing season, the plant produces high-centered double flowers that measure up to 5 inches across. These blossoms feature 20 to 30 gently waved petals and emit a delightful fruity fragrance. The petals showcase a striking blend of pink and salmon tones, with some blooms displaying a light center and darker outer petals, while others may reveal nearly solid hues. This color variability ensures a stunning display on every plant. The blooms appear singly or in small clusters, opening fully to reveal bright golden stamens. Cut flowers maintain their vibrant colors even in a vase.

This hybrid tea rose grows into an impressive bush, reaching up to 6 feet tall and 4 feet wide under ideal conditions. Its upright, well-branched growth habit is complemented by glossy, medium-green foliage. Perfect for garden borders or the back of flower beds, Color Magic is also an exceptional addition to any cutting garden.

The Vault Collection highlights treasured roses with lasting appeal. Each rose reintroduced from the vault carries a deep historical and sentimental significance, offering gardeners the opportunity to grow beloved varieties that reflect the legacy of Jackson & Perkins.
