Description

Hybrid Tea
First Prize is a stunning Hybrid Tea rose celebrated for its exceptional size, color, and elegance. Its long, pointed buds unfurl into magnificent 6–7-inch blooms with over 25 petals, showcasing a graceful blend of rose-pink tones with an ivory-pink reverse. These high-centered, exhibition-quality flowers are borne on long stems, making First Prize a favorite for cutting and floral arrangements. The blooms carry a light, sweet fragrance that adds to their charm, while the plant’s dark green, leathery foliage provides a striking backdrop for the vibrant blossoms.
Introduced by Jackson & Perkins in 1970, First Prize remains a classic choice for rose enthusiasts. This continually blooming, upright plant thrives in beds, borders, and containers, offering repeat flushes of color throughout the season. Hardy and vigorous, it combines beauty with reliability, making it an ideal focal point in any garden. Whether showcased in a formal rose bed or used as a statement piece in mixed plantings, First Prize delivers award-winning performance and timeless appeal.
