ToxicityTo humans
The plant commonly known as the hybrid tea rose is not considered toxic to humans. Ingesting parts of the hybrid tea rose is unlikely to cause poisoning; however, as with many plants, individual allergies or sensitivities could lead to mild discomfort or reactions. It's always advisable to avoid eating ornamental plants due to the potential for pesticides or other chemicals that may have been applied.
To pets
The hybrid tea rose is not toxic to pets. However, the thorns on rose bushes can cause physical injury if a pet tries to bite or swallow the stems. Consuming large amounts of the plant might lead to gastrointestinal upset such as vomiting or diarrhea due to the non-digestible fiber and plant material, not because of toxicity. As with humans, it's important to prevent pets from ingesting large amounts of any non-food plants, particularly if they have been treated with chemicals or pesticides.

WaterThe Hybrid Tea Rose 'Remember Me' should be watered deeply once a week during the growing season, ensuring at least one inch of water is applied. During hot or dry periods, this frequency may increase to twice per week. Provide enough water to soak the root zone, aiming for about 1 to 1.5 gallons per plant each time you water. Reduce watering in the winter when the plant is dormant, focusing on keeping the soil slightly moist but not waterlogged.
LightHybrid Tea Roses, such as 'Remember Me', thrive in full sunlight. They should be planted in a spot where they receive at least six to eight hours of direct sunlight each day. Avoid locations that are too shaded, as this can impede bloom production and increase susceptibility to diseases.
TemperatureHybrid Tea Roses, including 'Remember Me', prefer temperate conditions with temperatures between 60°F and 70°F. They can withstand minimum winter temperatures down to around 20°F, but for optimal growth and bloom production, they should not be exposed to extreme heat or cold. Providing a protective layer of mulch can help insulate the roots against sudden temperature changes.
PruningPrune the 'Remember Me' Hybrid Tea Rose in late winter or early spring, just as new buds begin to swell. Pruning encourages healthy growth, improves air circulation, and promotes vibrant blooms. Remove dead, damaged, or diseased branches, and cut back approximately one-third of the previous year’s growth. The best time is when the forsythia starts to bloom as a helpful seasonal indicator.
CleaningAs needed
SoilHybrid Tea Roses like Rosa Remember Me need well-draining soil rich in organic matter. A recipe for the best soil mix would include one-third loam soil, one-third peat moss or compost, and one-third perlite or coarse sand. The ideal soil pH for roses is between 6.0 and 6.5 to ensure proper nutrient uptake.
RepottingRoses generally do not require frequent repotting. However, if Rosa Remember Me is grown in a container, it should be repotted every 2 to 3 years, or when the plant outgrows its pot or the soil becomes exhausted.

Life cycleThe growth cycle of the hybrid tea rose, commonly known as Remember Me Rose, begins with seed germination, which occurs when the seed encounters the right temperature and moisture conditions, leading to the emergence of a seedling. The seedling grows into a young plant with young roots and shoots that will develop into a mature rose bush. This rose bush then enters a vegetative stage where it focuses on leaf and stem growth. After the vegetative phase, the plant begins the reproductive stage, producing buds that eventually open into the characteristic Remember Me flowers; this typically happens from late spring to fall, depending on the climate. The flowers eventually fade and may produce hips (seed pods), which contain seeds that can be dispersed to start new plants. Finally, after blooming, the rose enters a dormancy period during the colder months, where growth slows down or ceases, to preserve energy until the next growing season when the cycle starts anew.
PropogationPropogation time
Late winter to early spring
The most popular method of propagation for the Rosa Remember Me, commonly known as the hybrid tea rose, is through softwood cuttings. This process is typically done during late spring or early summer when the new growth is still tender but sufficiently matured. Cuttings should be about 6 to 8 inches (15 to 20 centimeters) long and include several sets of leaves. The bottom set of leaves is removed, and the cut end is dipped in a rooting hormone before being placed into a pot with well-draining soil. The soil should be kept moist, and the pot should be located in a warm area with indirect light. It often takes several weeks for cuttings to root, after which they can gradually be acclimated to outdoor conditions.
