Water Saving Tip:

Replace turf with groundcovers, trees, and shrubs. If you have areas where no one uses the grass, patches that do not grow well, or a turf area too small to water without runoff, consider replacing the turf with water-efficient landscaping.

  • Description

  • Notes

Hybrid tea is an informal horticultural classification for a group of roses that were created by cross-breeding two types of roses, hybrid perpetuals and tea roses. It is the oldest group classified as a modern garden rose. Later hybrids were created by crossing other rose species. They typically have large, well formed single flowers on long stems. Hybridizing has introduced a wealth of colors, blends, and combinations, but frequently at the expense of over-all robustness, foliage appearance, and fragrance.
