Rosa ‘Candy Stripe’
Hybrid Tea Rose | Creamy White Blooms Splashed with Cherry Pink Stripes
‘Candy Stripe’ is a truly distinctive Hybrid Tea rose celebrated for its spectacular striped blooms and delightful fragrance. Large, classically shaped flowers open from elegant buds to reveal creamy white petals boldly streaked and splashed with vibrant cherry-pink markings. No two blooms are exactly alike, creating a unique and eye-catching display throughout the flowering season. Borne on long, sturdy stems above healthy foliage, the blooms are exceptional for cutting and bring a touch of whimsy and elegance to the garden.
