This gorgeous variety captures the soft sophistication of its namesake, with extra-large, perfectly sculpted blooms in creamy apricot that have a light wash of green as they start to open. Bred from Sunset Celebration and St. Patrick, Marilyn has sturdy stems and vigorous blooms with substance that holds during hot summers or in your favorite cut arrangements—in fact, boasting one of the longest vase lives among hybrid teas.
A Bloom Built for the Red Carpet: Oversized blooms open with impressive size and form, each flower comprised of up to 40 petals arranged in a high-centered, classic rose shape. As blooms mature, their soft peachy color deepens slightly. In the garden, the refined tone and upright structure pair well with bold reds, soft pinks or silvery foliage.
Cut Flowers That Last: These roses boast an excellent vase life, with sturdy stems and long-lasting color making them a top pick for fresh arrangements that stay beautiful on the table. Plus, a mild citrus-tea fragrance adds aroma without overwhelm.
Vigorous and Disease Resistant: Well suited for beds or borders, this heat-tolerant variety thrives in full sun and grows 4-6’ tall. It’s also disease resistant. With this beauty, you’ll get structure, style and a long bloom season—all in one.
