Jackson & Perkins Rose of the Year 2021
Few true hybrid tea roses have an old-fashioned flower form. Larger Than Life not only has old-fashioned blooms but also has some of the largest blooms we've seen in the last 20 years.
The very double blooms are up to 5 inches across (sometimes larger) and rich with 80 to 95 petals. The well-formed, softly hued yellow flowers emerge from big bubbly buds and emit a moderate tea and fruit fragrance. Excellent cut flowers, they sit atop long, strong stems; just 4 or 5 blooms in a vase make a healthy bouquet.
The bush has an upright, moderately spreading habit and is fully covered with jumbo-sized, glossy, medium-green foliage. Disease resistant, it is a good choice for the novice gardener.
NOTE: Tree and patio roses are hardy to Zone 6 regardless of the rose variety grafted to their tops.
