Fill the hole withorganically rich soil, packing down the soil as you go to remove any air pockets.
In southern parts of the plant’s range, the graft union should remain just above the soil level.
Space plants about 24-36 inches apart to enable good air circulation.

Light
Hybrid tea roses bloom best infull sun but will tolerate partial sun.
Full sun exposure improves the hybrid tea rose’sbloomand general disease resistance.
Soil
Hybrid tea roses preferacidic soil(6.0 to 6.5 pH) that is rich inorganic matter.
You should mulch the hybrid tea rose to cool its roots and conserve water.
Apply a two- to three-inch layer of mulch in the spring.
In warmer climates, mulch the hybrid tea rose when its leaf buds begin to swell.
Hybrid tea roses grown in hot climates and sandy soil will need more frequent watering than cool coastal regions.
It’s best to water your hybrid tea rose when the top three inches of soil are dry.
Strong, deep roots will help your hybrid tea roses survive periods of drought.
Fertilizer
Hybrid tea roses are heavy feeders and benefit from applications of fertilizer three times per year.
Start feeding in early spring, a month before new growth starts or when you remove winter protection.
The second software should be made during the first bloom period.
The third system should be made in mid to late July.
Choose abalanced fertilizeror one intended for roses.
Iron is essential if the soil’s pH is too high.

Pruning
Pruning hybrid tea roses is not unlike pruning other rose types.
It’s best to prune your roses in early spring just as new growth appears in late spring.
Make the cuts at a 45-degree angle so that water runs off the cut ends.
Chilling the seeds encourages them to germinate faster once sown.
Even with stratification, not all of your seeds will germinate.
Overwintering
Good garden sanitation is important to prepare a hybrid tea rose for winter.
Remove dead canes and remove and discard diseased leaves from the plant and surrounding soil.
The soil you use should come from another part of the garden or from freshly purchased garden soil.
Remove the soil in spring before new growth begins.
Hybrid tea roses can attract pests likespider mitesandJapanese beetles.
Sufficient water and fertilization is also essential for blooming.Deadheadingfaded blooms encourages growth and more blooms.
Various forms of fungus, such aspowdery mildew, can cause discoloration and holes in the leaves.
While some hybrid tea roses are generally disease resistant, problems can arise.
Curling Leaves
Curling leaves are triggered by a viral infection, leading to a downward leaf curl.
The only way to treat the leaf-curling virus spread is to destroy the affected roses.
Leaf drop can also be because of fungus and mildew.
If you take excellent care of your rose, it can likely live longer.
