Breathless

This spring weather has left many of us breathless, so the rose of the month for April is Breathless, a hybrid tea introduced in 1993. It bears elegant urn-shaped buds that open to high-centered blooms singly on long stems. The blooms are deep pink with a strong fragrance. The plant is average height with medium green foliage. As with other hybrid teas, it requires heavy winter protection in our Zone 4. Have you tried it yet? What is your experience with Breathless? Rate it in the poll below.
