Rose Type: Hybrid Tea
Chris Evert™ produces large, well-formed blooms in a vivid melon-orange blend that develops a scarlet-red blush along the edges as the flowers mature. Each bloom carries 25–30 petals, with consistent coloring and especially good flower size in cooler weather. Deep red new growth matures into large green leaves, giving the plant an attractive backdrop for its bright flowers.
The blooms carry a moderate fruity fragrance, while the plant grows with an upright habit to about 3–4 feet tall. Chris Evert™ offers good practical disease resistance and performs well in coastal conditions. Its clean growth and distinctive orange-red coloring make it a colorful addition to sunny garden beds.
