Wonderfully fragrant and floriferous, Rosa 'New Zealand' is a lovely Hybrid Tea rose with very large, 6 in. across (15 cm), full, high-centered, shell pink flowers (25-34 petals). Their reflexed and ruffled petals are adorned with delicate salmon-pink undertones. Rich of an intense honeysuckle fragrance, the romantic blossoms bloom profusely in flushes from spring to fall. They are borne mostly solitary on almost thornless, long stems and are excellent for cutting. A bushy, upright, handsomely shaped shrub with large, semi-glossy, dark green leaves which provide an ideal backdrop for its summer-long floral display. Excellent disease resistance.

• Grows up to 3-5 ft. tall (90-150 cm) with a 2-3 ft. spread (60-90 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.
• Very good disease resistance.
• 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 Samuel Darragh McGredy IV (1985).
