Neptune™ Hybrid Tea Rose

Elegant, fragrant, and mesmerizing in color, Neptune™ is a spectacular Hybrid Tea rose celebrated for its large lavender blooms and extraordinarily powerful fragrance. Bred by Tom Carruth, this award-winning variety combines sophisticated coloring with classic Hybrid Tea form, making it an outstanding choice for fragrance gardens, cutting gardens, and rose collections.

Neptune™ produces magnificent lavender to lilac-purple blooms, often displaying deeper violet tones along the edges of the petals. The flowers are exceptionally large and beautifully formed, opening from pointed buds into classic, high-centered blooms with approximately 30–35 petals. Its cool lavender coloring creates an especially striking contrast against the plant's glossy green foliage.

As impressive as its flowers are, Neptune™ is perhaps best known for its intense fragrance. The blooms release a powerful sweet rose perfume with rich citrus notes, creating an unforgettable scent that can be enjoyed throughout the garden. Plant Neptune™ near patios, walkways, entrances, or seating areas where its remarkable fragrance can be fully appreciated.

Long, sturdy stems make the impressive blooms excellent for cutting, while repeat flowering provides successive flushes from late spring through fall. For gardeners seeking a lavender rose that combines exceptional fragrance, impressive flower size, and classic exhibition-style beauty, Neptune™ is a standout selection.
