BEST REBLOOMING AND HEALTHY HYBRID TEAS TOP 20
Hybrid Teas dominated the rose world for more than an entire century but their reign is declining rapidly. More and more modern Hybrids (crosses between different families of modern roses) are released and new real HT's with pure upright growth and only some flowers at the top are getting rare in the EU. Most new roses are a cross between HT's, floribundas, species roses and DA roses. But in this top 20 we only have real typical HT's. We've looked at health, reblooming quality and fragrance because everyone loves a fragrant rose.
The Top 20:
Chandos Beauty
Prince Jardinier (Francis Meilland)
Sophie Rochas
Line Renaud (Dee-Lish)
Pope John Paul II
Frédéric Mistral
Belinda's dream
Diamond Jubilee
Valencia
Savoy Hotel
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (Pure poetry)
Sœur Emmanuelle (cathedral bells)
Sweet Mademoiselle (Mlle Meilland)
Tropicana
Paul Ricard
La rose du Petit prince
Charles de Gaulle
Pullman Orient express
Double delight
Annapurna
So these are in random order some of the best HT's you can buy at this moment. Of course there are many others that are also worth growing but they just lack that bit of extra health, reblooming speed or fragrance.
These include: Just Joey, Chicago Peace, Peace (Mme A Meilland), Gräfin Diana, Fragrant cloud (duftwolke), Yves Piaget, Chartreuse de Parme, André Le Notre, Tiffany, Beverly, Maria Callas, Barbra Streisand and many others.
