Deep pink Hybrid Tea.
Registration name: GELex
Exhibition name: Excite

Bred by Diann Giles (United States, 2000).

Hybrid Tea.  

Deep pink.  None / no fragrance.  4 to 11 petals.  Large, single (4-8 petals), borne mostly solitary, exhibition bloom form.  Blooms in flushes throughout the season.  

Medium, armed with thorns / prickles, spreading.  Small, semi-glossy, medium green foliage.  

USDA zone 7b and warmer.  Spring Pruning: Remove old canes and dead or diseased wood and cut back canes that cross. In warmer climates, cut back the remaining canes by about one-third. In colder areas, you'll probably find you'll have to prune a little more than that.  Requires spring freeze protection (see glossary - Spring freeze protection) .
