- Water
Hybrid Tea Roses, like the 'Hope and Glory', require consistent moisture to thrive. They should be watered deeply once a week during cooler weather; however, in the heat of summer, watering may need to increase to two or three times per week. The method of watering should aim to keep the foliage dry to prevent disease, focusing the water at the base of the plant. When watering, provide about 1 to 2 gallons of water per plant each time, ensuring that the water penetrates deeply into the soil to encourage deep root growth.
- Light
For the 'Hope and Glory' Hybrid Tea Rose, full sunlight is best, which means planting them in a location where they receive at least six hours of direct sun a day. They thrive in an area that's open and receives morning light, which helps dry the dew on the leaves and reduces the risk of fungal diseases.
- Temperature
The 'Hope and Glory' Hybrid Tea Rose thrives in a range of temperatures from about 60°F to 90°F. Hardy in USDA zones 5 to 9, they can survive minimum temperatures down to -20°F when properly winterized. The ideal growing temperatures for maximum blooming are between 65°F to 75°F.
- Pruning
'Hope and Glory' Hybrid Tea Roses should be pruned to maintain plant health, improve air circulation, and shape the plant. The best time to prune is in early spring, just as the buds start to swell. Remove any dead or diseased wood, and cut back about one third to one half of the previous year's growth to outward-facing buds to encourage an open vase shape. Prune annually and deadhead spent blooms throughout the growing season to encourage more flowers.
- Cleaning
As needed
- Soil
The Hybrid Tea Rose 'Hope and Glory' thrives best in well-drained, loamy soil with organic matter. A mix containing equal parts garden soil, compost, and coarse sand or perlite is ideal. The pH should be slightly acidic to neutral, around 6.0 to 7.0. Regular amendments with organic matter will help maintain soil fertility.
- Repotting
The Hybrid Tea Rose 'Hope and Glory' typically doesn't need frequent repotting. It should be planted in the ground if possible, but if grown in a container, repotting every 2 to 3 years or when the plant outgrows the pot is recommended, providing fresh soil and room for continued growth.
- Humidity & Misting
Hybrid Tea Rose 'Hope and Glory' prefers moderate ambient humidity but is adaptable. While it can tolerate a range from 40% to 70%, too high humidity can promote fungal diseases, so ensuring good air circulation around the plant is crucial.
- Suitable locations
Indoor
Ensure bright light, regular water, and feed for growth.
Outdoor
Plant in full sun, enrich soil, and ensure good drainage.
Hardiness zone
5-10 USDA
- Life cycle
The Rosa 'Hope and Glory' or 'Tan01360' typically begins its life as a dormant bare-root plant or as a grafted specimen in the nursery. Upon planting, it enters a vegetative stage where it focuses on producing strong stems and green foliage. Following the vegetative phase, the plant undergoes bud formation where the first signs of future flowers appear as small buds. These buds grow and eventually bloom into the characteristic full, fragrant roses during the flowering stage, which can occur repeatedly in cycles throughout the growing season. After pollination, roses may form rose hips, which contain seeds, leading to the propagation stage if conditions allow for seed development and germination. Finally, the rose enters dormancy during the colder months, conserving energy to restart the cycle in the following growing season.
- Propogation
Propogation time
Spring-Early Summer
The Rosa 'Hope and Glory' (officially named 'Tan01360') is a hybrid tea rose that is most commonly propagated through the method of softwood cuttings. This technique is typically performed in late spring to early summer when new growth is supple and has not yet fully matured. To propagate, gardeners should select a healthy stem with a few leaves present and cut it at a length of about 6 inches (approximately 15 centimeters). Below the bottom set of leaves, a clean cut is made at a 45-degree angle to increase the surface area for rooting. The lower leaves are removed, and the cut end is often dipped in rooting hormone to encourage root development before placing the cutting in a well-draining soil mix. The cutting needs to be kept moist and in a warm environment with indirect light until roots have established, which can take several weeks.
