This has been a great year for roses! Maybe they liked the cool rainy spring that we had. Our roses have more blooms and look better than they ever have! The Double Delight rose is so beautiful! The eye-catching colors and fantastic fragrance make it immensely popular.
According to Wikipedia, ‘Double Delight ‘ is a hybrid tea rose cultivar bred by Swim & Ellis and introduced in 1977. Its parents were two hybrid tea cultivars – the red and yellow ‘Granada’ (Lindquist, 1963) and the ivory ‘Garden Party’ (Swim, 1959).
As the bud opens up, the rose is mainly a creamy white with just the edges tipped in a dark pink.
Then the petals begin turning a dark pink, almost strawberry red color. Gorgeous two-tone rose.
The blooms are large and most bloom continuously from spring to autumn.
So many different looks from one rose.
So pretty! You may want to add this to your collection. Enjoy!
