With its amazingly generous double blooms that present a magnificent pure white color, a complex assemblage of up to 50 petals, and a delicious licorice aroma, which creates an intoxicating environment in the garden, the John F. Kennedy hybrid tea rose is a fitting tribute to the beloved former U.S. president.
Garnering popularity with its grand blooms of as much as 6 inches, this popular hybrid tea rose is an ideal headliner in your sunny garden, commanding attention with stunning flushes throughout the season. Then take them into your home, where their intoxicating aroma can transform a room.
The distinctive, greenish buds open into blossoms throughout the season. Appealing in every season, the medium-green shrub grows from 3 to 5 feet high and 3 to 4 feet wide. The dark foliage forms a beautiful backdrop for the striking flowers, which blend well in the garden with every color and form.
Strong enough to stand up to summer heat, John F. Kennedy requires pruning in the spring, to either 18 to 20 inches off the ground or half its height. Old canes, dead wood should be removed. Canes that cross should be cut back. Remaining canes should be trimmed one-third in winter, and more in colder climates.
Beautiful, exquisite and awe-inspiring, John F. Kennedy will light up gardens, patio containers, vases and bouquets.
