The Classic Woman™ hybrid tea rose, a distinguished member of the Romantica® series from the esteemed House of Meilland®, presents a vision of creamy white elegance. Its buds offer a delicate hint of pink along the edges, gradually unfurling to reveal exquisite, 5-inch blooms. These captivating flowers emit a subtle, yet pleasing, classic rose fragrance that adds to their overall charm.
Renowned for its exceptional repeat blooming, the Classic Woman™ ensures a continuous display of its pristine flowers throughout the growing season.
