Beverly™ Hybrid Tea Rose on Fortuniana Rootstock
Elegant, fragrant, and beautifully refined, Beverly™ is an award-winning Hybrid Tea Rose prized for its large pink blooms, exceptional fragrance, and excellent disease resistance. Budded onto premium Fortuniana rootstock, this remarkable rose combines classic Hybrid Tea beauty with enhanced vigor, strong growth, and outstanding performance in warm, humid climates.
Bred by Kordes®, Beverly™ produces large, fully formed pink blooms with approximately 50–55 petals, creating a lush, romantic flower perfect for both garden display and cutting. The blooms are carried on an upright shrub with attractive semi-glossy foliage, offering a polished and elegant look throughout the growing season.
One of Beverly™’s most memorable features is its powerful fragrance, with distinctive notes of patchouli and pear. This rich, sophisticated scent earned it recognition as Most Fragrant Rose at the 2013 Biltmore International Rose Trials, where it also won Best Hybrid Tea.
When grafted onto Fortuniana rootstock, Beverly™ benefits from a vigorous root system that promotes faster establishment, increased bloom production, improved heat tolerance, and excellent long-term garden performance.
