Hybrid Tea Rose 'Paradise'

This is a good rose and blooms a lot. It needs protection in zone 5. The roses have no fragrance to speak of, but they are a lovely bi-color mauve.

One of the first roses I planted and is planted outside my back door (southern exposure) here in zone 5. Some information I have read st...Read Moreates that this particular rose is viable only to zone 7. It does live over here and blooms each year, however, it no longer blooms true to it's original form. The color has become more red than the original "mauve/lavendar" that it bloomed the first year. It also tends to bloom more like a wild rose than the beautiful double blossoms it used to have.

I'm not sure what has happened to the bush, possibly either my poor pruning techniques, weather, or any combination thereof. It still blooms, and it's still pretty when it does so I have to give it at least a neutral rating.

In looking for more information about this rose I saw that it is also known as:

Burning Sky
Passion

It was bred in the US (1978).
