Garden Party
AARS: 1960, Swim, USA Introduced 1959
Class: Hybrid Tea
Zones: 5-11
Parentage: 'Charlotte Armstrong' x 'Peace'
Flowers: Ivory with tinges of yellow and pink.
Size: 4-5 feet
Fragrance: Mild and pleasant

Of note: Lovely white blooms of cool elegance.
Description: 'Garden Party' was introduced in 1959, and the name certainly is reminiscent of that era. The flowers are cool white with pink and yellow blushes at the tips of the petals. The urn-shaped buds open to large, beautifully formed blossoms. Further, the initial flush of flowers is surprisingly plentiful for a rose with such large blooms; subsequent flushes follow throughout the remainder of the growing season. Fragrance is mild.
Habit is typical for Hybrid Tea roses, strongly upright. The dark green leaves set off the blooms well, and a well-maintained bush will have plenty of foliage. Use 'Garden Party' as a specimen or as a bedding rose

It's a pretty finnicky rose bush. The flowers are great when they do come in but there's a long time between blooms. It'll be awhile before the next one. Glad I took these when I did.
