Touch of Class™ Hybrid Tea Rose

Touch of Class™ Hybrid Tea Rose is a variety with a long track record and a look that has stayed relevant for decades. Since winning the AARS award in 1968, this rose has stood out for its strong stems, clean foliage, and distinct coral-toned blooms. The flowers open slowly with a classic spiral form and hold their shape well through the bloom cycle. If you’re looking for a hybrid tea with consistent form and a warm, blended color palette, Touch of Class offers both.

Warm, Blended Blooms That Hold Their Shape: The flowers start with pointed buds and open into full, high-centered blooms with strong petal structure. The color blends soft tones of orange, pink, and cream, finishing in a coral hue that’s especially pronounced in moderate temperatures. The bloom size and shape give this rose a clean, classic look that fits easily into both traditional and updated garden designs.

Long Stems and Clean Foliage: Touch of Class produces strong, upright stems that make it well-suited for cutting. Each stem supports a single, well-formed bloom, framed by dark green leaves. New growth shows a mahogany tone, offering a bit of natural contrast as the plant matures through the season. It grows with a balanced habit and supports repeat blooming with regular care.

A Fit for Cutting Gardens and Garden Beds: With its long stems and defined flower form, Touch of Class fits well into cutting gardens. The blooms last well in arrangements and maintain their structure in the vase. In the landscape, the plant has a tidy, upright habit that works well in formal beds, borders, or as a single feature among perennials or low shrubs.

Performs Best in Moderate Temperatures: This rose shows its best color in milder weather, where the coral tones finish with clarity. In warmer climates, planting where it gets afternoon shade can help maintain color consistency. Like most Hybrid Teas, it performs best with full sun, regular watering, and well-drained soil.

Touch of Class™ Hybrid Tea Rose brings a classic look and a balanced plant habit to the garden. With warm-toned flowers and strong growth, it continues to earn its place in modern landscapes while staying true to its original appeal.
