Audrey Hepburn hybrid tea

I love this picture of Audrey Hepburn - I used the macro setting on my digital camera and was delighted with the results. I grow Audrey in a sheltered spot on the east wall of our home, and although she never gets huge for me, her blooms are always lovely.

    The bloom has a beautiful spiral to it, thanks for sharing.

    Fabulous photo! I loved tracing with my eye that swirl of petals into the center. Awesome.

    My camera is just not capable of taking that type of shot.

    Thank you for sharing....

    That may well be one of the most beautiful roses I've ever seen.

    Reading the posts about how beautiful the Audrey Hepburn hybrid tea is is only half the story of this delightful rose. It also has the most wonderful fragrance you can imagine! I have had this beauty planted on the corner of my garage for over 10 years. When "she's" in bloom, your steps slow as you pass her. She must be the reason for the old axiom "stop and smell the roses." She is truly unforgettable and irresistible!

    My rose "Audrey Hepburn" is down to one cane and I have desperately tried to find it by calling and searching the web but cannot find it for sale anywhere. Do you know a source for buying this rose or a place where I could get some cuttings so that I could attempt to root them? Thank you so much.

    I had one for several years that grew like crazy, apparently because I planted it right next to a primary downspout. I knew (and still know) little to nothing about growing roses, just dumb luck! We get plenty of rain in SW Washington state, so this girl was rarely thirsty, and thus I usually had to prune quite a bit at least every year if not twice. :) I had to move recently, and she was so deeply rooted that I had to leave her behind. :( I've been surprised & disappointed at how difficult it seems to be to find another at any price. :( Fortunately, the new tenant has offered to let me come back for her, guess I just gotta find someone willing to dig deep enough. :P
