Grateful Heart® Hybrid Tea Rose

Grateful Heart® hybrid tea rose brings bold color, elegant form, and meaningful purpose together in one remarkable plant. This hybrid tea rose honors the American Heart Association, offering gardeners a chance to enjoy exquisite blooms while raising awareness for cardiovascular health. Its fully double, bright red flowers unfurl from pointed ovoid buds into sculpted 5-inch blooms, each holding around 30 petals. Set atop strong 14- to 18-inch stems and framed by lush dark green foliage, Grateful Heart creates a dramatic presence both in the garden and in the vase, where masses of its blooms make an unforgettable display.

In the landscape, this rose's upright, symmetrical habit and impressive stature—reaching about 5 feet tall and 4 feet wide—make it a natural focal point in sunny borders, cutting gardens, or memorial plantings. As a descendant of Moonstone, the cultivar carries hints of its parent's refined character, including slightly recurved petal tips and a petal reverse in lighter red to deep pink. Its clove-influenced fragrance is subtle but noticeable at close range or when gathered into a generous indoor arrangement.

Thriving best in full sun and nutrient-rich, well-drained soil, Grateful Heart is hardy through Zone 5 and can succeed in Zone 4 with reliable winter protection. Regular watering, seasonal feeding, and deadheading will encourage the long stems and continuous blooms gardeners appreciate in a premium hybrid tea. Robust, long-lived, and deeply symbolic, this rose is a meaningful choice for honoring loved ones, celebrating resilience, and bringing lasting beauty to the garden.
