Rosa Miss All-American Beauty (Hybrid Tea Rose)
Named after the prima donna Maria Callas, Rosa Miss All-American Beauty is a particularly luminous Hybrid Tea rose with very large, 6 in. across (15 cm), full (50-60 petals), cupped, deep pink flowers. Borne mostly solitary on long stems, the brilliant flowers exude a strong, old rose fragrance and bloom in flushes from spring to fall.
Named after the prima donna Maria Callas, Rosa Miss All-American Beauty is a particularly luminous Hybrid Tea rose with very large, 6 in. across (15 cm), full (50-60 petals), cupped, deep pink flowers. Borne mostly solitary on long stems, the brilliant flowers exude a strong, old rose fragrance and bloom in flushes from spring to fall. A compact, bushy, well-branched shrub clothed in leathery, dark green leaves which provide an ideal backdrop for its summer-long floral display. Hardy, beautiful and very disease resistant, this almost indestructible rose is perfect for novice gardeners. It will proudly stand as a focal point and garner attention in mass plantings.
- 1968 All-America Rose Selection – the most prestigious rose award in the USA
- Grows up to 4-5 ft. tall (120-150 cm) and 2-3 ft. wide (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.
- 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 Marie-Louise (Louisette) Meilland (1920-1987) (France, 1965).
