Martha Stewart is an icon of homemaking, gardening, and entertainment, and now, she's a rose. After keeping the plants for over 25 years, it's high time that she had one of the flowers named after her. Meet: The Martha Stewart Hybrid Tea Rose.
'I am happy about many things these days but one thing that is really special is having a glorious, highly scented, and beautifully colored hybrid tea rose named after me,' Martha explained in a recent Instagram post about the new rose variety. The flowers were developed by Meilland, a family-owned rose-growing business. Stewart worked with Danielle Dall’Armi of Rose Story Farm and her Head Gardener, Ryan McCallister to develop the large pink blooms.
The plants are widely admired by experts across the field. Thom Rutter, master gardener and Content Editor at Homes & Gardens states: 'Who wouldn't enjoy having fragrant roses in their yard? As a gardener, I have cared for hundreds of roses in my professional career, and while they do require a little more care than other shrubs, it is certainly worth it when you enjoy weeks of color, scent, and romance in the garden.'
This light pink rose is bursting with life and citrusy scent, grounded in lush, dark green foliage. It's easy to see why Martha loves them.
He continues, 'Martha's new rose variety, aptly named "The Martha Stewart Hybrid Tea Rose," produces large pink-orange blooms that are hard not to fall in love with. However, what really makes this new rose variety stand out is its scent, with notes of verbena, bergamot, and honeysuckle.'
If you are hoping to keep Stewart's flowers, Rutter explains the tenets of rose care. He says: 'Hybrid tea roses tend to have an upright habit, so are ideal for smaller borders or container gardens. In contrast to rambling roses, they are far easier to contain, requiring less maintenance. If you are growing them in a pot, be sure to use a deep container filled with rich, organic soil, combined with a layer of grit to aid drainage. And remember, roses love sunshine - the more sun, the more flowers.'
