Rose Type: Hybrid Tea
Brandy produces large, classically formed blooms in a rich blend of warm apricot tones. The flowers reach about 5 inches across and carry 25–30 petals, opening from elegant pointed buds held on long cutting stems above dark green foliage. Cooler conditions can bring out especially good flower quality and size.
The blooms carry a slight sweet Tea fragrance and perform well for cutting and bringing indoors. Brandy grows with an upright habit, reaching about 5–6 feet tall, and offers strong practical disease resistance. It also tolerates heat, coastal conditions, and partial shade, though the official source notes that protection may be helpful in harsher climates.
