Pape Jean Paul II

Tea Hybrid rose

One of the most fragrant white roses of all time with a strong citrus scent. A commemorative tea hybrid rose dedicated to the late Pope John Paul II. A bright, pure white rose with a refreshing fragrance, specially chosen by the Vatican in honor of John Paul II and planted in the Vatican Gardens overlooking St. Peter’s Basilica.

This rose has received the highest ratings for vigorous growth, dense foliage, disease resistance, abundant flowering, and perfect flower form. The buds are elongated and ovate. The flowers are large and radiant, pure white with a delightful, powerful scent of freshness and lemon. Luxurious double flowers shine on glossy dark green foliage. The rose is remontant, blooming throughout the entire season.
