ONLY A ROSE - 2015

Good morning

Hybrid Tea.
Red and white, red edges. Strong, spice fragrance. up to 30 petals. Average diameter 5". Very large, very double, high-centered bloom form. Blooms in flushes throughout the season.

Breeder John Sheldon provided the following information about this rose: Some roses fade in the sun, some roses darken in the sun, some roses actually change color in the sun. Roses such as 'Elina','Double Delight', 'Headliner', 'Color Magic' and 'Paradise' all show these traits. In my breeding program, I have worked on making them more dramatic and bringing in new genes. And... it was an area of hybridizing that others were ignoring. At on point these traits were seen as faults. 'Double Delight' was almost discarded because it was thought to be just another WHITE rose. Only later were its phototropic characteristics seen when it turned red in the sun.
