Rosa 'Raspberry Cupcake'
Raspberry Cupcake Hybrid Tea Rose
Rosa 'Raspberry Cupcake' is a hybrid tea rose sending up large cuplike blooms of medium‑to‑light pink edged in softer tones. These blossoms open from pointed buds and release a strong raspberry‑and‑lemon fragrance. Flowering in flushes from late spring through fall, it is carried by dark green foliage that remains clean and healthy across the season. The reblooming habit makes it suited for cutting gardens, beds, or display plantings.
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.
