Zone: 4JOHN F KENNEDY HYBRID TEA ROSE
Rosa 'John F. Kennedy' is a classic Hybrid Tea rose that exudes elegance and prestige, much like its namesake. It is celebrated for its exceptionally large, high-centered blooms that emerge from greenish-white buds into a pure, shimmering white. The flowers are composed of many thick, velvety petals and release a rich, licorice-like fragrance that can fill a garden space on a warm afternoon.
The ideal spot for 'John F. Kennedy' Rose is a location with full sun and excellent air circulation to maintain the health of its dark green, leathery foliage. As a Hybrid Tea, it features a tall, upright, and somewhat stately growth habit, typically reaching 3 to 4 feet in height. This makes it a perfect selection for the middle or back of a formal rose bed or as a striking vertical accent in a mixed border. The long, sturdy stems are ideal for cutting, allowing the pristine white blossoms to be enjoyed in high-quality floral arrangements. To ensure the largest and most frequent blooms throughout the season, plant in rich, well-drained soil and provide regular deep watering and fertilization. An early spring pruning is essential to remove old wood and stimulate the vigorous new growth that will carry the season's first magnificent flush of flowers.

To help this plant settle in and thrive, we recommend these standard planting practices: Plant in a location with at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight. Ensure soil is rich, well-draining, and amended with organic matter. Water at the base (avoid getting leaves wet) to prevent fungal diseases. Pruning: Prune in early spring, just as the buds begin to swell (but before leaves emerge). Remove all dead, damaged, or diseased wood, then trim healthy stems back to an outward-facing bud to open up the center of the plant for air circulation.
