Moonlight Romantica® Hybrid Tea Rose

The sun-loving Moonlight Romantica® Hybrid Tea Rose is a beauty with stunning yellow blooms.

This perennial has a long blooming cycle, with the first flowers opening in spring and the last blooms of the season emerging in the fall. This plant has an upright, bushy growth habit and long stems, making for wonderful cut flowers. Create a flowering hedge, foundation planting, or add the glamorous blooms to a bed. If you need another reason to love this charming beauty, then make sure to take time to enjoy the sweet fragrance given off by the flowers. This low-maintenance plant grows as a perennial in USDA zones 5 through 9. Moonlight Romantica® Hybrid Tea Rose Care Plant in moist, well-drained soil in full sunlight. New plants need to stay on a regular watering schedule. Established plants will need less-frequent care, but water when the top several inches of soil dry out. Hybrid Tea Roses are heavy feeders, so keep this plant going strong all season long by sticking to a consistent fertilization schedule. Feed this plant using a balanced fertilizer in the early spring, after the first flowers bloom, and for a final time near the end of July. Deadhead this Tea Rose to encourage more prolific blooming. Prune this plant in early spring. Remove thin canes and trim thick canes by one-third to promote more growth and abundant blooming.
