Astounding Glory Hybrid Tea Rose

Astounding Glory hybrid tea rose is a 2013 Jackson & Perkins introduction that lives up to its name with commanding height, elegant structure, and spectacular color. This exclusive variety reaches up to 6 feet tall and 4 feet wide, producing glorious 5-inch deep-pink double blooms that unfurl from long, pointed buds. Each flower is held on impressive 18-inch stems—perfect for cutting—and paired with dark green foliage that sets off the vibrant petals with dramatic contrast. The fragrance is gentle but appealing, adding subtle charm to every bloom and making each stem a welcome addition to indoor arrangements.

Well-suited for cutting gardens, specimen plantings, or the background of sunny borders, Astounding Glory stands as a bold visual anchor in any landscape. Its tall stature and refined flower form make it especially striking when paired with cool-toned perennials like lavender, salvia, nepeta, or silvery artemisia, all of which help amplify the intensity of its deep-pink coloring. Whether planted singly or as part of a larger hybrid tea collection, this rose offers an abundance of long-stemmed blooms throughout the season, ensuring no shortage of flowers to enjoy outdoors or inside the home.

Astounding Glory thrives in full sun and medium-moist, slightly acidic, well-drained loam. A layer of mulch helps keep roots cool and soil evenly moist during hot summer months. Prune in spring by removing old canes, dead wood, and any crossing branches. In warm climates, reduce remaining canes by about one-third; in colder regions, prune a bit more to encourage strong new growth. With proper seasonal care, this vigorous hybrid tea rewards gardeners with stunning color and a steady supply of exceptional blooms.
