Strongly fragrant, Rosa 'Maria Stern' is a hardy Hybrid Tea rose with large, 4-5 in. across (10-12 cm), fully double, velvety apricot-orange flowers packed with 43 petals. Free-flowering, the exquisite flowers are borne on long stems, making them perfect for cutting. The deep green, glossiness of the leaves is a perfect background for the large blossoms. Blooming in flushes from spring to fall, this bushy, upright shrub is ideal for sunny beds, borders or containers.

Rosa 'Maria Stern' belongs to the Sub-Zero Series noted for its hardiness, disease resistance, beauty and vigor. In zones 5 and colder, this superb rose will however need some winter protection.

• Grows up to 4-6 ft. tall (120-180 cm) and 3-4 ft. wide (90-120 cm).
• An excellent choice for beds and borders or containers. Great cut flowers.
• Best grown in full sun, in rich, fertile with adequate moisture, well-drained soils.
• Spring Pruning: Remove old canes and dead or diseased wood and cut back canes that cross. In warmer climates, cut back the remaining canes by about one-third. In colder areas, you'll probably find you'll have to prune a little more than that.
• Bred by Brownell Family (United States, 1948).
