Long-lasting blooms won't fade in the garden.
This All-America Rose Selections (AARS) Winner 1984, named for the Los Angeles Olympics, is truly one of the reddest of red roses, from its early urn-shaped buds to its final flash of glory.
If you're looking for a hybrid tea with disease resistance and a generous yield of beautiful red blooms, Olympiad Hybrid Tea Rose is your champion. The fully double, 4- to 5-inch flowers are long stemmed and long lasting. Usually borne singly on strong stems, they occasionally arise in big clusters. High centered and perfectly formed, they boast 30 to 35 petals, with a mild fragrance that bears a second sniff (and holds up well indoors).
Olympiad Hybrid Tea Rose is a New Zealand introduction from famed breeder Sam McGredy. Olympiad Hybrid Tea Rose arrived on the scene in 1982, earning its name for its selection as the Rose of the Olympics. And its pedigree is impeccable: R. 'Red Planet' x R. 'Pharaoh.'
These blooms are ideal for the vase, but also hold their color beautifully in the garden and resist spotting as they mature. Olympiad Hybrid Tea Rose has a vigorous upright habit, about 4 to 5 feet tall, with dark-green foliage. You'll find Olympiad Hybrid Tea Rose to be low on maintenance needs, thanks to its disease resistance. Prune Olympiad Hybrid Tea Rose to half height or 18-20 inches above the ground in early spring.
