Gemini produces elegant flowers on a tough, vigorous plant. The blooms are bicolored, cream, bordered in rich coral pink. They're at their best in areas with moderate to hot summer temperatures. Sunshine intensifies the fabulous coloration.
Gemini Hybrid Tea Rose is renowned for its exquisite bicolor blooms and continuous flowering habit. From late spring through late fall, this exceptional variety produces a steady succession of 5-inch, high-centered double blooms, each featuring 30 to 35 delicately spiraled petals. The striking coral-pink and creamy white hues create a stunning porcelain-like effect, making Gemini one of the most sought-after bicolor roses. Lightly fragrant and perched atop long, sturdy stems, its blooms are perfect for cutting, bringing elegance and fragrance to floral arrangements.
With a tall, upright growth habit, Gemini is equally suited for single plantings, mixed borders, and cutting gardens, offering season-long interest. Bred by Jackson & Perkins, Gemini is a direct descendant of the refined hybrid tea Anne Morrow Lindbergh and the heat-tolerant, vibrant New Zealand rose New Year. This superior lineage gives it exceptional vigor, strong disease resistance, and the ability to thrive in warm climates where other roses may struggle. Gemini grows larger than some hybrid teas and so is ideal for the back of a flower border or as a focal point plant.
For optimal performance, plant Gemini in full sun and well-drained soil, ensuring consistent watering and seasonal fertilization to encourage its signature flushes of blooms. Gemini is an enduring timeless hybrid tea rose that performs reliably in almost any rose garden. Grow Gemini Hybrid Tea Rose for its striking color contrast, exceptional cut flowers, or continuous reblooming.
NOTE: Tree and patio roses are hardy to Zone 6 regardless of the rose variety grafted to their tops.
