Intensely fragrant, Rosa 'Full Sail' is a lovely Hybrid Tea rose with very large, 5 in. across (12 cm), full, high-centered to flat, creamy-white flowers (26-40 petals). Blooming in flushes from spring to fall, the luminous blossoms are borne mostly solitary and exude a heady honeysuckle perfume. They stand out against the healthy foliage of large, shiny, dark green leaves. Bushy, almost thornless, this shrub rose is very disease resistant.
- 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.
- 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.
- Discovered by Samuel Darragh McGredy IV (before 1994).
