Double Delight

My Double Delight Tea Rose ~ I've had it about 3 years, but was cut back to be moved to the new house, so it has to acquire size again. It was reaching a good 6 ft high

I love the colors in it

Beautiful!

I love roses (well, who doesn't) but early on had bad luck with them so haven't tried in many years. Maybe I should give roses another go. I have a sunny spot along the west side of the house I've been thinking of de-weeding and planting in. Hmmm.

Natalie, that is not only a lovely rose, but it's one of the healthiest I"ve ever seen! Well done on getting it moved and settled into its new home.

Thank you! I was battling rabbits eating some of my roses in the beginning of the spring, one of my tea roses looks like a standard right now, all the bottom leaves were eaten right off... finally managed the rabbits and they are all bouncing back now.
Picked up a Queen Elizabeth today to put in, looks a little starved for sunlight, but I think it will do great once she's in and adjusted!

Double Delight: Care and Growing Conditions

Funny, I’ve been growing hybrid teas for more than 20 years and one of the few I’ve had to shovel prune was double delight, three times in two different locations! I’ve given up on them

It is ironic that Double Delight does not do well for you like your other hybrid tea roses.
