WaterThe hybrid tea rose, commonly referred to as Rosa 'Harzazz', requires regular watering to maintain moist but not waterlogged soil. Typically, watering should be done once a week with about 1 gallon of water per plant, but this can vary depending on weather conditions. During hot, dry periods, watering frequency may increase to two or three times per week. It's crucial to avoid overhead watering to prevent leaf diseases; instead, water at the base of the plant. Reduce watering in the winter when the rose is dormant.
LightRosa 'Harzazz' thrives in full sunlight, which means it should receive at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily. The best spot for this plant is in an open area with clear exposure to the sun, away from larger plants or structures that could cast shade. Dappled light in the afternoon can help protect blossoms from the intense heat in very hot climates.
TemperatureThe ideal growing temperatures for Rosa 'Harzazz' range between 65°F and 75°F. While it can survive temperatures as low as 20°F, it should be protected from frost to prevent damage to the plant. At the higher end, it can manage temperatures up to around 90°F, but consistent high temperatures may stress the plant and cause bloom reduction.
PruningPruning is essential for maintaining the health and shape of Rosa 'Harzazz'. Prune in late winter or early spring, just as the buds begin to swell, removing dead or weak wood and shaping the plant. Prune again after the first bloom to encourage reblooming. Deadheading, or removing spent flowers, should be done throughout the blooming season to promote more blooms.
CleaningAs needed
SoilHybrid Tea Roses require well-drained, loamy soil enriched with organic matter. A soil pH of 6.5 to 7.0 is ideal. Mix in compost and aged manure to create a nutrient-rich foundation.
RepottingHybrid Tea Roses are typically not repotted as they are outdoor plants. They are transplanted only if necessary with spacing of 2-3 years.
Humidity & MistingHybrid Tea Roses thrive in moderate humidity. They do not have specific humidity requirements but benefit from morning dew and occasional misting if the air is very dry.
Suitable locationsIndoor
Ensure bright light, ample airflow, and room for growth.
Outdoor
Plant in full sun with well-draining soil, water deeply.

Life cycleThe 'Harzazz' rose, commonly known as Rosa Sue Hipkin, begins its life as a dormant bare-root plant or potted specimen. Once planted in well-drained soil with ample sunlight, it breaks dormancy in spring with the emergence of new shoots and leaves. The plant enters a vigorous vegetative growth phase, developing a strong root system and foliage. Throughout late spring and summer, Rosa Sue Hipkin enters its reproductive phase, producing fragrant, colorful blooms that attract pollinators. After flowering, some roses may produce hips (seed pods) that can be used to propagate new plants. The plant then goes into a period of senescence in fall or winter, where it sheds leaves and enters dormancy, conserving energy to restart the cycle in the following spring.
PropogationPropogation time
Early Spring
Rosa Sue Hipkin 'Harzazz', commonly known as a type of hybrid tea rose, is often propagated through the method of softwood cuttings. For this variety, the best time to take cuttings is in late spring or early summer when new growth is mature enough to be firm but still young. Cuttings should be about 6 inches (15.24 cm) long, with several leaves removed from the lower half, to expose nodes where roots will develop. The base of the cutting is then dipped in rooting hormone to encourage root growth and planted in a mixture of sand and peat or a soilless potting mix. The cuttings are kept under high humidity, either in a greenhouse or under a plastic cover, and in bright, indirect light until roots have established, which typically takes several weeks. Once the cuttings have rooted, they are carefully transplanted to individual pots to grow on before eventually being planted out in the garden.
