Rose Type: Hybrid Tea
Perfume Delight is a classic Hybrid Tea celebrated for its large, shapely blooms and unforgettable fragrance. Rich, deep rose-pink flowers measure approximately 4½ inches across and are formed from about 30 elegantly arranged petals. Long, pointed buds open slowly into fully developed blossoms held atop strong stems, creating the timeless appearance that Hybrid Tea enthusiasts have admired for decades.
The exceptional damask fragrance is the defining characteristic of this variety, filling the garden with a bold, traditional rose perfume. Repeated blooming becomes more abundant as the plant matures, providing a steady supply of flowers for both the garden and fresh arrangements. The upright, vigorous shrub is complemented by attractive, dark green foliage and performs well in warm, sunny locations. Added tolerance for coastal conditions and hot, dry climates makes Perfume Delight a dependable choice for gardeners seeking both beauty and fragrance.
