Candy Stripe Rose Melbourne

Candy Stripe roses are classified as hybrid tea roses. These roses are known for their large, elegant blooms, often used for cut flowers and display in bouquets. They are created by crossing two specific roses, typically a hybrid perpetual and tea rose. Hybrid tea roses like Candy Stripe are valued for their fragrance, long stems, and wide range of colours and forms. They are also known for their repeated blooming throughout the growing season, with individual blooms typically lasting several days to a week. 

Hybrid tea roses generally require full sun to thrive and produce the best blooms. Full sun means at least 6 hours of direct sunlight each day. Hybrid tea roses need plenty of sunlight to photosynthesise and produce energy for growth and flowering. In areas with very hot or intense sun, some afternoon shade may be beneficial to prevent the plants from becoming overly stressed or dehydrated. However, it's important to ensure that hybrid tea roses still receive enough direct sunlight during the day to promote healthy growth and abundant blooms.

Candy Stripe roses, a type of hybrid tea rose, typically grow to a height of 3 to 5 feet and a spread of 2 to 3 feet. Like most bare-root roses, the height and spread of the Candy Stripe rose can vary depending on the specific growing conditions, including the climate, soil quality, soil level and amount of sunlight and water the plant receives.
