Falling in Love™ Hybrid Tea Rose
Romantic, graceful, and beautifully fragrant, Falling in Love™ is an enchanting Hybrid Tea rose known for its elegant warm pink blooms with creamy porcelain reverses. Bred by renowned hybridizer Tom Carruth, this lovely variety combines classic exhibition-style flower form, a wonderfully sweet fragrance, and long cutting stems to create a rose that is just as impressive in a vase as it is in the garden.
Falling in Love™ produces large, beautifully sculpted flowers that open from long, pointed buds into classic high-centered Hybrid Tea blooms. The petals display rich warm pink to rosy-pink coloring on their upper surfaces while the lighter cream-to-ivory reverses create a delicate two-tone effect. As the petals unfurl, the contrasting shades give each bloom remarkable depth and dimension.
The flowers are carried primarily on long, sturdy stems, making Falling in Love™ an exceptional variety for cutting and fresh floral arrangements. Its elegant flower form and romantic coloring are complemented by a strong, sweet fragrance, adding another layer of enjoyment both outdoors and inside the home.
Repeat flowering keeps new blooms appearing throughout the growing season, while its upright growth and attractive dark green foliage provide a beautiful backdrop for the luminous pink flowers. For gardeners who love traditional Hybrid Tea roses with fragrance, cutting quality, and romantic color, Falling in Love™ is an outstanding choice.
