Bronze Star™ Hybrid Tea Rose
Warm, elegant, and richly fragrant, Bronze Star™ is a striking Hybrid Tea Rose admired for its glowing apricot blooms, classic flower form, and exceptional performance as a cut flower. Bred by renowned hybridizer O.L. Weeks, this beautiful variety combines sophisticated color with strong fragrance, making it a standout in both the garden and floral arrangements.
Bronze Star™ produces large, exhibition-quality blooms in warm shades of apricot, creating a refined display that complements both traditional and contemporary garden designs. Each flower is composed of approximately 25–30 petals, opening into the classic high-centered form that Hybrid Tea roses are known for. Long, sturdy stems make every bloom ideal for cutting, allowing you to enjoy fresh bouquets indoors throughout the season.
Its strong, spicy fragrance fills the garden with an inviting perfume, making Bronze Star™ an excellent choice for planting near patios, walkways, and outdoor living spaces. Repeat flowering ensures a continuous display of blooms from late spring through fall, while healthy medium green foliage provides an attractive backdrop to its warm-colored flowers.
With its tall, bushy growth habit and reliable garden performance, Bronze Star™ is equally at home as a specimen planting, in dedicated rose gardens, or incorporated into mixed borders where its unique color and fragrance can truly shine.
