Water
The Hybrid Tea Rose should be watered deeply and thoroughly, ensuring moisture reaches the roots. Watering should be done weekly, providing about 1 to 1.5 gallons per plant each time. During hot, dry spells, increase the frequency of watering to twice a week. It's important to avoid overhead watering to minimize the risk of leaf diseases; instead, water at the base of the plant. Adjust the amount of water and frequency according to the weather and soil conditions, making sure the soil remains moist but not waterlogged.
Light
Hybrid Tea Roses thrive in full sunlight, needing at least 6 to 8 hours of direct sun daily. Position the plant in a location where it can receive uninterrupted sunlight throughout the day. Morning light is particularly beneficial as it helps dry dew off the leaves, reducing the risk of fungal diseases.
Temperature
Hybrid Tea Roses prefer temperatures between 65°F and 75°F for optimal growth. They can tolerate a range where the minimum does not drop below 32°F and the maximum does not exceed 90°F. The plant's best growth will occur when it's neither too hot nor freezing, with moderate temperatures being ideal.
Pruning
Hybrid Tea Roses should be pruned to maintain shape, remove dead wood, and encourage healthy growth and airflow. Prune in late winter or early spring, just as the plants break dormancy, cutting back to about 12 to 24 inches from the ground. Remove any dead or diseased branches, and thin out the center to allow light and air to penetrate the plant.
Cleaning
As needed
Soil
The best soil mix for the Hybrid Tea Rose should be rich, loamy, and well-draining with organic matter such as compost or aged manure. The ideal soil pH for this rose should be between 6.0 and 7.0. A balance of porosity and moisture retention is crucial for this plant's health.
Repotting
Hybrid Tea Roses typically do not require repotting as they are usually planted directly in the garden. If grown in containers, they may need repotting every two to three years to refresh the soil and accommodate root growth.
Humidity & Misting
Hybrid Tea Roses thrive in moderate humidity conditions. They prefer outdoor environments where the natural airflow can provide the right balance, avoiding the high humidity that can lead to fungal diseases.
Suitable locations
- Indoor
  Provide bright light, well-draining soil, moderate water, and humidity.
- Outdoor
  Plant in full sun, fertile soil, ensure good air circulation, water deeply.
- Hardiness zone
  5-9 USDA
Life cycle
The life of the 'Delnado' Hybrid Tea Rose begins with the germination of seeds or more commonly through the rooting of cuttings, where a new plant establishes from vegetative propagation. The juvenile stage follows, characterized by the development of foliage and a root system, though flowering is rare at this time. As the plant matures into the adult vegetative stage, the rose bush develops stronger stems and an increased leaf area, preparing it for robust flowering. The reproductive stage sees the 'Delnado' rose producing numerous blooms, usually from late spring to fall, depending on the climate. Once pollinated, the flowers can form hips (seed pods), which contain seeds that can disperse to give rise to new plants, although cultivation is typically done through cuttings. The rose bush may then enter a period of dormancy in winter months, reducing metabolic activity to conserve energy until favorable conditions return in spring.
Propogation
- Propogation time
  Spring to early summer
- Propogation: The Rosa Raymond Blanc, commonly known as a type of Hybrid Tea Rose, is often propagated through a method called stem cuttings. This popular method involves taking healthy, disease-free stem cuttings from an existing plant during its semi-dormant state, usually in late fall or winter. The cuttings should be about 6-8 inches (15-20 centimeters) in length with several sets of leaves. These cuttings are then planted in a mixture of half perlite and half peat moss, which provides excellent drainage and a steady supply of moisture. The environment should be kept humid, around 70-75 degrees Fahrenheit (21-24 degrees Celsius), possibly with the help of a plastic cover to maintain moisture. Roots usually begin to form within a few weeks, after which the new plants can eventually be transplanted into the garden.
