| I'm kind of put off by hybrid teas lately because of the habit I've seen on a few of them in my gardens---exceedingly upright, like 6 4' sticks with flowers at the ends. But I do have one that doesn't look like that. So, do all hybrid teas grow that way, or are some more attractive and bushy--more rounded than stick-like? I have very little opportunity to see roses in a garden as no one around here grows them, so I must rely on internet pictures and my own experience.
And, of course, which ones are they? |

| Most HT'S grow this way. Sometimes a HT will send out a spray. When you see a spray coming on thumb prune the lead bud to get a good spray. |
