Hybrid tea is an informal
horticultural classification for a group of garden roses. They were created by
cross-breeding two types of roses, initially by hybridising Hybrid Perpetuals
with Tea roses. It is the oldest group classified as a
modern garden rose. Hybrid teas exhibit traits midway between
both parents, being hardier than the often quite tender teas, and more inclined
to repeat-flowering than the somewhat misleadingly-named hybrid perpetuals. Hybrid
tea flowers are well-formed with large, high-centred buds, supported by long,
straight and upright stems. Each flower can grow to 8 to 12.5 cm wide.
Hybrid teas are the world's most popular type of rose by choice due to their
color and flower form. The fact that their flowers are usually borne singly at
the end of long stems, makes them popular as cut flowers.
