Sealed With a Kiss Hybrid Tea Rose

Sealed With a Kiss is a dramatic hybrid tea rose known for its deep, velvety red blooms and dark, near-black buds. The high-centered flowers open into classic, 4-inch blossoms made up of 17 to 25 petals, delivering an elegant, timeless silhouette. With a wide, full form reaching 4 to 5 feet in both height and spread, this rose makes a powerful statement in garden beds and borders. Though only mildly fragrant, its rich color and refined form make it a favorite among gardeners and floral designers alike.

This hybrid tea variety is perfect for planting as a focal point in sunny borders, rose beds, or cutting gardens. Its upright growth habit and strong stemmed, solitary blooms make it ideal for use in floral arrangements. The nearly black buds offer dramatic contrast, even before the flowers open, and pair beautifully with silvery foliage or pale companion plants like lavender and dusty miller. Sealed With a Kiss blooms in repeated flushes from late spring to mid or mid fall, delivering lasting beauty through the growing season.

Hardy in USDA Zones 5 through 9, Sealed With a Kiss thrives in full sun with well-drained soil. It's disease resistant and beginner-friendly, requiring minimal care beyond regular watering and seasonal feeding. Space plants 4 to 5 feet apart to allow airflow and encourage healthy growth. Prune lightly in early spring to maintain its strong form and stimulate new flowering wood. This hybrid tea rose brings vibrant color, reliable blooms, and classic rose appeal to landscapes large and small.
