Rosa Olympiad™ (Hybrid Tea Rose)
Rose Olympiad™, Rosa 'MACauck', Rosa Olympiode, Hybrid Tea Roses, Shrub Roses
Attracting the eye, Rosa Olympiad™ is a lightly scented Hybrid Tea rose boasting large, full, high-centered, pure red flowers, 5 in. across (12 cm), packed with 32 to 37 petals. Borne mostly solitary on sturdy stems, the exquisite blossoms exude a light, fruity fragrance. Blooming in flushes from spring to early fall, they stand tall above the lush foliage of matte, medium green leaves. A vigorous, heat tolerant, upright shrub rose that is very disease resistant and perfect for beds, borders, or as a flowering hedge. A great rose for cutting too.
- All-America Rose Selection - the most prestigious rose award in the USA.
- Grows up to 3-5 ft. tall (90-150 cm) and 2 ft. wide (60 cm).
- An excellent choice for beds and borders, containers or as a flowering hedge. Stunning when mass-planted. Excellent cut flowers.
- Best grown in full sun, in rich, fertile with adequate moisture, well-drained soils.
- Propagate by hardwood cuttings in autumn or by chip budding in summer.
- 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 (1932-2019) McGredy IV (1972).
