Perfume Delight Hybrid Tea Rose

Plant in spring or fall in fertile, well-drained soil, spacing 24–30 inches apart. Perfume Delight is a classic hybrid tea grown primarily for its extraordinarily powerful, intensely sweet rose fragrance — among the most fragrant hybrid teas available. The flowers are deep, warm pink and classically formed. Dig a wide planting hole, add compost, and water deeply. Apply mulch.

Prune in early spring, removing dead wood and reducing canes by about one-third. Deadhead spent blooms consistently for continuous flowering. Fertilize every four to six weeks from spring through late summer. Water at the base. The exceptional fragrance of Perfume Delight is its defining characteristic — plant where it can be closely encountered, near a path, seating area, or garden entrance. The fragrance is extraordinary and unlike most modern roses.
