Traviata® Hybrid Tea Rose
Bold, luxurious, and wonderfully romantic, Traviata® is an exceptional Meilland® Hybrid Tea rose celebrated for its enormous, richly petaled deep red blooms and vigorous garden performance. Combining the elegant growth of a modern Hybrid Tea with the sumptuous flower form of an old-fashioned rose, Traviata® creates a dramatic display in rose gardens, mixed borders, and cutting gardens.
Traviata® produces magnificent flowers in a saturated shade of deep crimson to rich velvety red. Each bloom is packed with layers of petals that unfold into a large, deeply cupped rosette. Rather than the sharply pointed form associated with many traditional Hybrid Teas, Traviata® offers a fuller, more romantic flower reminiscent of classic old garden roses.
The substantial blooms are displayed beautifully against dark, glossy green foliage, creating an impressive contrast in the landscape. Flowers appear repeatedly throughout the growing season, providing successive flushes of intense red color from spring into fall.
Its vigorous, upright habit gives Traviata® a strong presence in the garden, while the large flowers are equally impressive when cut for arrangements. For gardeners looking for a red rose that combines dramatic color, old-fashioned flower form, and modern performance, Traviata® is an outstanding selection.
