About this plant
Rosa 'Peach Swirl' is a hybrid tea rose that opens with medium‑double blooms swirling in peach, apricot, and creamy yellow tones, edged lightly with magenta. Those richly colored blossoms carry a strong fragrance of fruit and spice, and appear in repeated flushes from late spring through fall, set above glossy dark green foliage that holds clean. The petals present painterly variation in color intensity, while long stems make blooms ideal for cutting.
Bred by Tom Carruth and introduced in 2017, 'Peach Swirl' is appreciated for strong disease resistance, excellent bloom retention, and garden performance in both warm and mild climates. This rose delivers long‑lasting beauty with fragrance and showy petals that reward gardeners season after season.
Planting & care
Roses reward a sunny, open site with at least six hours of direct light, good air movement, and well-drained soil rich in organic matter. Water deeply and less often, soaking the root zone while keeping the leaves dry, and mulch with two to three inches of compost or shredded bark held back from the canes. Feed repeat-blooming roses in early spring as growth starts and again after the first flush, then prune in late winter to remove dead or crossing canes and open the center. Long, straight stems make hybrid teas ideal for cutting, so give each plant room and airflow.
Where to see it
This plant can be seen at the Portland International Rose Test Garden.
