Rosa 'Medallion'
- Medallion Hybrid Tea Rose is a classic, large-flowered rose known for its soft, warm coloring and elegant bloom form. The flowers come in shades of peach to apricot, often with subtle pink undertones, giving them a refined, almost glowing appearance.
- Each bloom is full and layered, typically borne one per long stem, which makes it ideal for cutting. The color has a softer presence compared to bold reds or yellows, making it easier to blend into a wider range of planting palettes.
- The plant itself grows upright with sturdy stems and dark green foliage that provides a clean backdrop for the flowers. It works well in dedicated rose beds, but can also be mixed into borders where you want a more classic, romantic feel.
- It blooms in cycles throughout the growing season, especially with regular deadheading. Like most hybrid teas, it benefits from consistent care but rewards that effort with repeat blooms.
- Medallion Hybrid Tea Rose grows best in full sun and prefers well drained soil. Regular watering, feeding, and seasonal pruning will help keep it healthy and performing at its best.
- It typically reaches about 4 to 6 feet tall and around 2 to 3 feet wide, forming an upright shrub. It is well suited for USDA zones 6 through 10 and performs well in warm climates. The foliage is deciduous to semi evergreen depending on conditions.
- This plant has some toxicity and may cause irritation or illness if ingested, so it is best to plant with care around pets and children.
- The flowers attract pollinators such as bees and are excellent for cutting and indoor arrangements.
- It is generally deer resistant, though roses may occasionally be browsed. Rabbits may nibble young growth.
- Medallion Hybrid Tea Rose fits especially well into formal, cottage, and rose garden designs, where its soft color can be used to add warmth without overpowering a space.
- Expert Tip:
- I like using this rose when I want something that blends rather than dominates. The softer peach tones pair really well with whites, lavenders, and even silvery foliage, so it’s easy to work into a mixed planting without it feeling too bold. It’s a good choice when you’re trying to keep the overall palette more cohesive. Perfect for those cottage style landscapes.
