Rose Type: Hybrid Tea
Sterling Silver is a timeless Hybrid Tea rose treasured for its distinctive lavender blooms brushed with soft, silvery undertones. Large, elegantly shaped flowers measuring approximately 3½ inches across are composed of 17–25 petals that spiral open from classic Hybrid Tea buds. Its unusual mauve-lavender coloring remains one of the most recognizable and admired shades in the world of roses.
The fragrance is every bit as memorable as the flower itself, combining bright citrus notes with a rich, fruity perfume. Sterling Silver grows with an upright habit, reaching 3–4 feet in height and 2–3 feet in width. Nearly thornless stems and long-lasting blooms make it an excellent choice for cutting gardens and floral arrangements, while its glossy green foliage provides an attractive backdrop throughout the growing season.
