ARS:
Mauve or mauve blend Hybrid Tea. Registration name: Morning Mist (hybrid tea, Fisher, 1950)
Class:
Florists Rose, Hybrid Tea.
Bloom:
Lavender, silver(y) undertones. Strong fragrance. 15 to 20 petals. Average diameter 3.5". Large, double (17-25 petals), high-centered bloom form. Blooms in flushes throughout the season.
Growing:
USDA zone 6b and warmer. Can be used for cut flower. 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.
Notes:
The patent states "this variety resulted from a self pollinated seedling from one of my own unnamed seedlings developed in our greenhouses in Woburn, Mass. This variety is essentially a greenhouse rose but it can also be grown out of doors satisfactorily. It is a prolific producer of flowers and although not a robust grower is adequately strong to produce good bushes. It is not quite so hardy as the really strong growers."
