First Prize
Description
Classic, elegant, and made for cutting, First Prize is a celebrated Hybrid Tea known for its exceptionally large 5.5-6", high-centered blooms and long, sturdy stems. The flowers open in beautifully swirled shades of rose pink, giving each bloom the polished form that made this variety a longtime exhibition favorite.
The plant has a slightly spreading habit with strong foliage and performs especially well once established. Its long stems and traditional flower form make it an excellent choice for cutting gardens, formal beds, and anyone who loves the timeless look of a classic rose.
