Honor roses that will grace your garden with their stunning beauty

Posted on November 22, 2023

The Honor rose is a hybrid tea rose known for its large, well-formed, clear white blooms and tall, vigorous stems. It was introduced in 1976 by William A. Warriner and has garnered admiration for its beauty, fragrance, and disease resistance.

Characteristics of the Honor Rose:

  • Bloom Size: 4-5 inches in diameter
  • Color: Crisp, bright white
  • Fragrance: Light, delicate fragrance
  • Height: 4-5.5 feet
  • Width: 2-3 feet
  • Hardiness Zone: 3-9
  • Bloom Time: Late spring to early fall
  • Disease Resistance: Excellent resistance to black spot and powdery mildew

Care and Cultivation:

  • Sun Exposure: Prefers full sun for at least 6-8 hours daily to encourage abundant blooms and healthy growth.
  • Soil Type: Thrives in well-drained, fertile soil with a slightly acidic pH of 6.0 to 6.5.
  • Watering: Water regularly, especially during hot, dry periods. Aim for 1-2 inches of water per week during dry spells.
  • Fertilizing: Fertilize every 4-6 weeks during the growing season with a balanced rose fertilizer.
  • Pruning: Prune in late winter or early spring to remove dead, diseased, or damaged canes, and maintain a desired shape.
  • Pest and Disease Control: Monitor for common rose pests like aphids, spider mites, and Japanese beetles. Use organic or least-toxic control methods whenever possible. Protect against fungal diseases like black spot and mildew by improving air circulation and avoiding overhead watering.
  • Winter Protection: In colder climates, protect the rose from harsh winter temperatures by mounding mulch around the base of the plant after the first frost.

Additional Tips:

  • Deadhead spent blooms to promote continuous flowering and prevent the plant from expending energy on seed production.
  • Mulch around the base of the rose to retain moisture, suppress weeds, and regulate soil temperature.
  • Enjoy the blooms! Cut and enjoy the fragrant blooms of your Honor rose indoors or use them to create beautiful arrangements.

By following these comprehensive care guidelines, you can successfully grow and maintain healthy, vibrant Honor roses that will grace your garden with their stunning beauty and delicate fragrance for years to come.
