Martha Stewart Hybrid Tea Rose

Talk about star power in the Rose world. The Martha Stewart Hybrid Tea Rose (Rosa ‘Martha Stewart’) brings the elegance you expect from a classic Hybrid Tea, along with the poise, polish, and timeless beauty that made its namesake iconic.

This variety was named in honor of Martha Stewart for her long-standing influence on American home gardening, floral design, and the elevated aesthetic she helped popularize, making it a fitting tribute to pair her name with a Rose so graceful and refined. These large, high-centered blooms unfurl in refined shades of soft blush pink, offering that classic Hybrid Tea fragrance with a sweet, warm perfume that drifts across the garden like a gentle, nostalgic summer breeze. Blooming from late spring through frost, this Hybrid Tea Rose delivers long-stemmed flowers perfect for cutting gardens and vase displays.

Its upright, stately growth habit forms strong, sturdy stems that hold those exhibition-style blooms high and proud. Glossy, deep green foliage adds rich contrast while staying clean and handsome all season. As a Hybrid Tea, it has that refined, sculpted structure Rose lovers adore, with a vase-like form and continual flushes of blooms. This beauty brings a cultivated, glamorous feel to any garden bed, border, or Rose collection.
