Better Times® Eleganza® is a hybrid tea rose that produces very large, double blooms with a cupped form. The colour variation can be large and sometimes leaving you wondering… “Is this the same rose?” Yes it is, that is the nature of Better Times® Eleganza®.
You can expect this rose to bloom in small clusters and in flushes throughout the season. Better Times® Eleganza® puts on a vivid show of colour, and as alluded to above, the petals varying in playful shades of deep pink, orange, and yellow. These blooms are longer-lasting, making them an excellent choice for the cut flower gardener.
This plant has a upright habit, reaching at least 6′ in height, with mat, dark green, and leathery foliage. This variety has recently been recognized by several awards, including the Belfast Best Large Flowered Rose/Best Hybrid Tea and Belfast Golden Rose in 2023, as well as the Baden-Baden Gold Medal, Nyon Gold Medal, Rome Bronze Medal in 2022, and Barcelona Silver Medal in 2020.

When placing an online order of potted roses, you will be asked to select a pick up date. These dates will only be available 48 hours from when you place your order, to allow our staff time to arrange the pick up.
