Sugar Moon™ Hybrid Tea Rose
Pure, elegant, and intensely fragrant, Sugar Moon™ is a spectacular Hybrid Tea rose prized for its brilliant white blooms, classic exhibition form, and extraordinary perfume. Bred by Christian Bédard, this striking variety produces beautifully sculpted flowers on long stems, making it equally impressive in the garden and in fresh-cut arrangements.
Sugar Moon™ produces exceptionally large, luminous pure-white blooms that stand dramatically against its deep green foliage. Each flower opens from a beautifully pointed bud into a classic, high-centered Hybrid Tea bloom filled with approximately 25–30 petals. The crisp white coloring gives the flowers a clean, sophisticated appearance and makes Sugar Moon™ especially beautiful when paired with pink, lavender, red, or richly colored roses.
Fragrance is one of Sugar Moon™'s defining characteristics. Its flowers release an intensely strong, sweet citrus and classic rose perfume, making this an outstanding choice for gardeners who consider fragrance just as important as beauty. Plant it near patios, walkways, entrances, or seating areas where its wonderful scent can be appreciated up close.
Its vigorous, upright growth produces strong stems that are ideal for cutting, while repeat flowering provides fresh waves of elegant white blooms throughout the growing season. For gardeners searching for a truly fragrant white Hybrid Tea with outstanding flower form, Sugar Moon™ is an exceptional choice.
