The Tiffany and Mirandy Roses
When it comes to choosing roses for cut flowers, the Tiffany and the Mirandy roses really stand out from the crowd.
The Tiffany Rose
Easy to grow, the Tiffany rose is an ideal cut flower. The long stems have a very good vase life. Among the most popular of the hybrid teas, this has exquisite five inch wide pink blend blossoms. With up to 30 petals, the pink colors often range from medium to dark. It can also be pastel rose pink to a cool silvery pink. Sometimes, there will be a hint of yellow in the center or at the base of the petals.
These have long, pointed buds and classically shaped blossoms. A repeat bloomer, this is in bloom from summer to fall. Though these usually open singly, they can sometimes be in clusters. Up to three inches wide, the flowers have a very rich scent.
The medium to deep green, shiny leaves are somewhat disease resistant. Somewhat thorny, these are vigorous, care-free, low maintenance plants. They are bushy and upright, and can reach 4½ to six feet tall. Preferring a warm climate, this is recommended for zones five through eleven. The parents were Girona and Charlotte Armstrong.
